Pros

When you have stayed for a while seniorty really makes a difference and you can get more hours just because of it and depending on your union contract you will start to make ok money after 5 years.......

Cons

People who are just not getting hired will have a bad contract with very little pay raise. I have been working there for close to 5 years and started to get yearly 1$ raises starting from 7.50$ and i will stop at a cap of 13-14 or so. new employees will not get close to that. With my contract you have to wait 3 years before you get 1$ raises and years as a bagger do not count.... and that is BS.

Pros

10% discount on all kroger branded items $17.25 per hour is one of the better wages in the area when compared to competitor stores

Cons

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
