Kroger reviews

Very slow pace - not meant for people who need excitement at work Typically kids straight out of school are hired and then they end up working here for the rest of their lives. Therefore the culture is not very open towards new ideas as people have always done things only one way and have not seen other innovative ways to do work.

I was on probation for a month just because I was a new hire. I was a bagger and I was under 18 at the time, so the managers and people in charge of us talked down to us. When I went to get carts, I was forced to go out numerous times and the other people I worked with only had to go out once or twice. The higher ups tend to pick one person per pointless job and then hammer them when they don't do it to their liking. I was one of the only ones who did my job, so I was given more responsibility. However, I was also expected to pick up the slack when the others were goofing off, which wasn't fair. No one ever pointed out that they were doing anything wrong, just called their names over the loud speakers. Working as a kid in high school is also not a very good choice, especially during exam times.
