Pros

The management is nice to the staff. It's one of the few places I have worked where you will actually hear your boss say to you "you are doing a good job." That is very welcomed, and extremely rare in my experience!

Cons

The major downside does not come from the company, but rather the labor laws of the state my particular store in located in. There is no lunch break during an 8 hour shift, which is perfectly legal.

Pros

Was fun for a college job. I worked there part time to pay the bills. The best thing was the stack purchasing plan. Even though I was a part time college kid, I could put $20 a week toward buying Kroger stock at no additional brokerage fees. You could buy partial shares. The stock even split.

Cons

Could make more working at a factory, but at least it was air conditioned. Being a college town, I felt that some of the management was discouraging towards staying in college. My boss wanted me to stay and keep working at Kroger. She was a long time employee. She said that after 20 years I could make $12.75 an hour like her!!!

Pros

First off, I should be clear that I worked at Kroger's corporate headquarters, so I have no idea what it may be like at the stores. While the average skill level tends to vary widely throughout departments at Kroger, there is still a level of genuine respect that pervades the environment. In addition, employees generally receive good feedback and recognition of their work.

Cons

At the same time, it is relatively difficult to improve yourself. It is difficult to move up the ladder to better positions, and promotions can at times seem quite arbitrary.
