      Kroger- Good training, bad for balance of work/life

      Pros

      Absolutely great training program, they really give you a round about knowledge of how to do your job. Good pay with a chance for raises.

      Cons

      You will work more hours, and more ODD hours than humans should have to. Good luck trying to balance your non-work life, especially if you have a significant other.

      Better than most, but not great

      Department head

      Pros

      If you have the desire and the determination you can go far. Department heads are chosen by interviews, not seniority. Once you have become a dept head and prove your worth you can go into the management training program to create a career that pays better than a dept head could ever achieve. Since they are union, you don't have to worry about @ss kissing getting someone ahead who doesn't deserve to be there. I have dealt with great managers and awful managers. Luckily, the terrible ones usually get weeded out over a period of time and I consider this a good point.

      Cons

      As a regular clerk, you are relegated by seniority since they are union. You must work all holidays and most weekends and for most people that is a negative. Raises are not given based on your work ethic or production, they are given on a time line because they are union. Although dept heads make decent money ($16-17/hr) for what they do, there's no going up from there unless you go through Kroger's management program.
