Pros

....the twice a year bonus which is now questionable with Kroger being the parent company......

Cons

...cannot wait to leave the company in the coming year, they talk a good game like Walmart fighting back with their ads saying how great it is to work there but in fact it is the most horrible from an employee morale point of view. Talk to anyone in the stores and if they are willing to tell you the atmosphere sucks because of the constant, always in your face, 'company is coming', audits after audits, after audits and more audits!!! Zero overtime or threats of"write ups" or "documentation"!!. We have 2 arms but they insist on 6 arms and they don't care but they expect it to be done! As far as who you are in the company they don't give a @#$t!!. Don't use your brain just do as we say or we'll "write you up" is a very common comment. This career path is now strictly just a paycheck!! with the clock ticking for departure. I can truly say that I speak for many many people working for the stores but they are 'afraid' of their 'job' or tell anyone. Yes, this may sound like a rant but I challenge anyone to find and speak to the people in the stores and "IF" they will tell you in honesty what they really think about the company.

Pros

Competitive starting pay, acceptable (though far from fashionable or flattering) uniforms, access to full benefits (an increasing rarity), pretty decent coworkers (save a knucklehead or two, but that's everywhere), somewhat educational if you've never worked in a deli before...I really do learn something new every day. Generally good working environment & it seems my management team actually values me as an employee.

Cons

Scheduling is a little tight sometimes, I feel like I'm going to be stuck on the night shift for the rest of my natural life. We have to pay for our uniforms- even hats and aprons. Concrete floor is taxing on the body. Training needs to be overhauled...endless computer modules don't teach the practical skills. Communication between management and associates could be better. ...and let's not forget that sometimes you come home smelling like rotisserie chicken.

Pros

Decent salary, workload isn't too much, friendly people, good hours.

Cons

If you are a bagger then you are all over the place and they can be too strict on breaks and lunches. However, that is store and staff dependent.
