Pros

Kroger will hire people fresh out of college and give them a stable place to work. Decent benefits, good hours.

Cons

Kroger low-balls employees on salary until you get to certain levels of management. As do many big companies, Kroger values its middle and upper management more than it values the people actually getting the work done. Additionally, the company offers poor compensation for skilled employees, and holidays and other benefits are below the industry standard with regards to work in corp. Can't speak about the store level.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
