Pros
Aside from being 100% unemployed, there really aren't any pros for working at Kroger. Perhaps, the other people you work alongside make it bearable - for the most part - if there has to be a "pro".
Cons
They lie upon signing your employment papers, in telling you that you HAVE to belong to the union in order to become employed with them. However, MI is a 'right to work' state, and since I had no intentions of doing anything I would lose my job over, I didn't need a lackluster union rep to defend me. Especially not at $8.15 per hour. Therefore, I expressed my concern over having to sign that particular form, but was made to sign it "or else". I asked that my feelings and statement be noted for the record. I have since learned I did not have to join, and have been trying to get out of it - and be reimbursed for the exorbitant dues they've extracted for the past several months. Not a happy place to be employed. Not a particularly friendly or associate-encouraging place to be. Very cut-throat atmosphere. The upper management are bullies (they play favorites) - most notably the head store manager. It's a very demeaning place to be.
