Pros

If you're getting your first job, it might be a good place to start. . . if only to get used to crummy supervisors, and upper management.

Cons

When I first worked at Kroger I was given absolutely no proper training on how to use the cash register. And I never really got good at it until several months later. Getting help even from the floor supervisors was difficult, sometimes even a waste of time, and pushing a random sequence of key strokes was probably more helpful.

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
