Kroger reviews

Working weekends, holidays, and evenings twice/three x's a week, advancement is somewhat related to who you know. Company. Bonuses are most times almost unachievable and not really a major factor in your over-all salary. Paid twice yearly and the strings attached are too connected to circumstances out of your control. For instance, up to 10% can be directly tied to what ratings you receive from outside mystery shoppers... Their opinions are too subjective and based on their personal and many times unreasonable expectations. For instance, once had 3 of the vice-presidents in for a visit and unknowingly received a mystery shop "while they were in the store". Our visit went extremely will yet the mystery shop blasted us... Too much power on our pay over an area out of our control and subjective to purely personal and sometimes questionable and biased opinions. Pay is too similar with other companies to justify one staying for long when other opportunities are out there for the same pay yet more normal hours and days.

Very low pay based on amount of work done. I did alot of heavy lifting and did the whole job with no help. I was hired and trained to eventually replace 2 full time and several part time associates and did it for less pay. Shortly after I started I realized I was alone in doing the job and found it very difficult to stay caught up and do my job effectively. I received very little pay, only a little more than a cashier who had a simple joob requiring little effort. Management just assumed I could handle it and took no advice from store manager.
