Pros

Kroger is union, so hourly workers have rights and get annual raises Staff discounts are okay

Cons

Pickup is given unrealistic goals to reach. We are constantly harped on for not reaching said goals. Management shops at Walmart, returns the items at the front desk at Kroger for a refund, and gives them to my department to fulfil orders. It's confusing, time-consuming, utterly ridiculous, and unnecessary. Why support the competition to reach percentage goals and not make a profit? I mean, I don't personally profit either way, but the company has to be losing money and time by doing this. The stress levels caused by this futile dance are unreasonable.
