Pros

The pay is pretty decent Kroger has been around a long time and people always have to buy food, so you don't worry much about getting laid off.

Cons

Promotions are purely handed out based on who you are friends with and who you make feel special. It is especially hard to get a promotion if you are a minority. You are expected to give up family time and outside life, you have to choose kroger over your children, spouse, religion, and morals. No matter what you do, how long you work, nor how hard you work it is never good enough. We are expected to achieve the impossible with very little hours and resources.

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.
