Pros

with it being a small company you get to know the other employees better and form a better relationship with them. Everything was very routine so there weren't alot of unexpected surprises day to day. At the very least, you got your breaks on time and your day off was your day off. Doing your specific job alone meant you knew the job was going to be done right and you could schedule the way you wanted to do things your own was according to what suited you best personally. You were allowed to leave on lunch break which some companies do not allow.

Cons

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.

Pros

I worked in the Pharmacy. The majority of the employees are very friendly and hard working. The pay is good for someone who is still in college. The company has guaranteed raise every 6 months whether you sat on your butt or worked hard. You get to know some of the regular customers and some of them can be very friendly.

Cons

Rude, demanding customers. The mentally ill patients. If someone gets sick, there are no staff technicians to take their place. No one takes a real lunch or breaks.

Pros

Kroger tends to be growing in the Dallas area so there is some chance for advancement. They really want degreed mangement, but that is hard to find in the retail industry since degreed individuals want more of a 9-5 job with weekends off.

Cons

They are getting rid of full time employees and getting more part-time to cut costs, so mangement tends not to care about any employees
