Pros

You get paid every week and some people who are coworkers are not that bad.Those are the only two positive things I can say about Kroger.You will not be able to make a living working at Kroger unless you are in management.The only way working here is OK is if you are in high school or college and need a little bit of pocket change until you find a better job.Trust me you will regret working at Kroger.All the managers do is use good workers and take advantage of them in order to cover the lazy employees(full time)if you stand up for yourself then they make it seem like you are the bad guy.I hate Kroger.

Cons

low pay,poor management ,rude customers,no opportunity to advance.

Pros

Pay was higher than most entry-level jobs Raise System was fair every certain amount of hours a raise is given Opportunity to advance/ switch departments after 6 months Upper management was classy and knew there stuff

Cons

seafood manager was a complete idiot he was uncomfortable talking to customers other managers and using the overhead system meat bosses were disrespectful verbally harrassed on multiple occaisons did not want to be bothered despite the fact they had a job to do training or the lack there off, was not trained properly resulting in procedure not being followed due to fellow employees cutting corners shadyness of other employees was never approached by meat department and told mistakes were being made did not know that procedure was not follwed until my last day follow up left company before being required to join the union and several months later received a bill for union dues still to this day have not heard back from store management had to call union directly. politics of other departments was treated like an outsider simple because I was not in with the cliches of the grocery clerks.

Pros

Kroger is one of the largest grocery companies in the world, fiscally conservative and likely to be around for a long time. Salary and benefits are competetive and work-life balance is honored.

Cons

In a huge, bureaucratic organization upward mobility can be painfully slow. Supply-side management culture (ie. forcing improvements in efficiency by reducing available resources) leads to endless "right-sizing" and doing more with less.
