Pros
Flexible hours. Tuition reimbursement after working 500 hours.
Cons
Let me start off by saying that KROGER PAYS THE LEAST OUT OF ALMOST EVERY GROCERY STORE. do not hesitate to apply to publix or walmart or whole foods. Hardly any opportunity for advancement. I was a courtesy clerk (bagger) for a year and only got to become a deli clerk because I nagged my manager. Courtesy clerks don't get raises by the way, and only get paid minimum wage and are basically the janitors of the store (cleaning bathrooms, getting carts from the parking lot in 90+ degree weather, cleaning messes, etc.) Management tries really hard to keep the number of full-time employees to a minimum because they do not want to pay for benefits. Raises are a joke. I just got a .15 raise for switching to a deli clerk, so i currently get a whopping $7.40/hr. My next raise will be .5 and raises are only given every 6 months or 1000 hours. If youre a high schooler or have other means of financial support and just want some extra change, then i guess working here wouldnt be bad. But if you actually have responsiblilties and things that you have to pay for, work somewhere else.
