Pros

Good salary,good benefits and bonus program, onsite fitness center. Corporate offices are nice but in SE Portland, ample parking.

Cons

Ever since the Kroger merger this regional office has gotten smaller and lost a lot of its employees as well as Mr. Meyers ideals. RIP

Endure retail hell for slightly above the minimum wage!

Pros

Easy to get your foot in the door, they're always hiring. The union guarantees automatic raises whether it is deserved or not. The union gives some level of protection from unjustifiable termination. Semi-decent starting pay and discounts. Every once in a while they provide lunch as part of employee appreciation. Cleaner bathrooms than Target, a lot nicer than Wal-Mart.

Cons

Highschool clique mentality on all levels. Inadequate training and sometimes very hazardous work environment. Expect consistent bullying and harassment from certain superiors. High-stress environment with several people's workload set on the shoulders of single individual. Many employees just don't bother reporting safety violations to OSHA or report harassment because they will face retaliation. Don't rock the boat if you have serious financial obligations or a family to support. You will endure blatant favoritism and very little chance of promotion. You won't survive long if you're not the butt-kissing type. Some insensitivity to LGTB employees. You must jump hurdles to collect your sick pay. There is unspoken repercussions for missing work for any reason, even serious illness. You will be resented for taking medical leave for illness or injury on or off the job. HR only exists to prevent more lawsuits. Most employees are miserable or just don't care. Some have no choice but to do what it takes to keep their job. If you have a soul and dignity and want to keep it - stay far away!

Great pay for sore feet.

Pros

The pay is excellent for a part-time unskilled job. Middle management really cares about you. There is a strong feeling of teamwork in this job because it is a very tough job.

Cons

You are always on the go and on your feet. It is almost always busy and you will not find very much downtime to sit around and chat with coworkers. Your feet WILL be sore at the end of your shift.
