Kroger Starbucks Lead

Pros

Decent money, part-time is 11.00 and Full-time is 14.00. You write your own schedule and are in control of all the ordering except Starbucks Auto-Shipment.

Cons

Very stressful, depending on your Kroger manager and Deli manager. If you have great support than its better. Its hard to follow both Starbucks and Kroger policy and regulations since they are two completely difference companies. It is really hard to get everything that you have to get done day to day because you always are considered one of the Barista's and have to constantly be on the floor to make drinks. Not flexible with hours, unless part-time. Like any other manager job, you are constantly bombarded. Inventory is harder than it should be. You have too many people micro-managing.

Pros

Kroger will hire just about anyone as long as they don't fail a drug test. They have great inexpensive insurance for all full time employees and those part time associates who maintain an adequate amount of hours worked. For the most part you can have pretty flexible hours. You don't have to be a good worker to get a raise, you pretty much just have to show up everyday and put forth minimal effort.

Cons

Rampant micromanagement, low pay with small incremental raises, heavy workloads with little to no help, overall poor work to life balance. Limits to your hours to keep you from getting full time status, and thus obtaining insurance benefits. Confusing and arbitrary pay scale, it changes based on your time with Kroger and on which contract you were hired under, instead of basing it on performance and skill.
