Pros

Kroger benefits medical & dental.

Cons

Untrained management with little training. Company philosophy made by a grocery store attitude . Erratic schedules make any kind of life outside work impossible. The quality of jewelry sold is bottom of the barrel. Cheaper by the day and proud of it! Expect to be threatened and treated like a criminal whenever corporate plays their blame game.

Pros

The fact that they are owned by Kroger is a plus. That enables Fred Meyer Jewelers to price their jewelry competitively.

Cons

I would not recommend this job to anyone. At my location the turnover was extremely high. From working with the individuals that came and went I believe that the poor management would be the cause of this. Management has no HR skills,or the ability to develop a interpersonal relationships. She is verbally abusive to associates in front of customers and other associates.There was zero leadership, and very little training making it very difficult to succeed. Another challenge is that the manager is in direct competition with her subordinates for sales. That, combined with the fact that your sales goals and previous sales can and will be altered consistently at the mangers discretion is sure to limit your success rather than fuel it.

Pros

No weekend hours. Incredibly cheap gym membership to a HUGE gym that is 200 feet from where I work. Can go there at lunch, after work, etc. It's awesome. I can go a whole day without someone micromanaging me, which is nice. Awesome coworkers who are around my age, making it easy to relate and have a good time. Great office environment with music, snacks; tons of break rooms with refrigerators, vending machines, and the like.

Cons

Management has a permanent stick up the ass. Very rude and no sense of humor - incredibly tense Bad pay. No hourly employees I know are making more than/even close to $20 an hour. They have started bringing in temps to avoid paying benefits and to get away with paying miserable wages. Super performance is expected for terrible pay. Dated technology makes daily tasks incredibly tedious and sometimes you can't even do it things at all because it just doesn't work. IT staff seem to be either overworked or incompetent and support tickets are pretty much set and forget. Your issue will be fixed with a week, but no guarantees that the fix won't break something else. When micromanaging does happen, it is the worst. Apart from being nice individuals my managers don't seem to know what they're doing and often have to ask senior employees who have been there longer than them how to do something. Task delegation is expected from supervisor to grunt, but it is often a huge waste of time, interrupting projects to do menial tasks that they can do themselves.
