Pros

Kroger is a good company to work for if you are either a high school student looking to make some quick money or a lifer, in it until retirement. The union generally takes pretty good care of those who are in it for life, or those who are specialized (eg: meat department).

Cons

Unless you are willing to put in enough time to build up seniority you will not get good hours. If you are not intending to make Kroger a career you will not advance. Management is not interested in implementing new ideas.

Pros

Clean environment to work in as appose to other store. They actually have you take a class to train you so that you are familiar with tasks.

Cons

Hours were sporadically, if you are new they would sometime let you work left over hours which equates to working weird hours.

Pros

When you have stayed for a while seniorty really makes a difference and you can get more hours just because of it and depending on your union contract you will start to make ok money after 5 years.......

Cons

People who are just not getting hired will have a bad contract with very little pay raise. I have been working there for close to 5 years and started to get yearly 1$ raises starting from 7.50$ and i will stop at a cap of 13-14 or so. new employees will not get close to that. With my contract you have to wait 3 years before you get 1$ raises and years as a bagger do not count.... and that is BS.
