Pros

- You’re going to get hours. Even if you suck, you’re going to get hours because every Kroger store is understaffed. - It’s relatively easy to transfer stores, and since Kroger is everywhere across the Midwest, you’re probably okay if you want to move. - Cheap insurance for yourself (no spousal coverage)

Cons

- Frequent use of the phrase “Everyone’s replaceable.” - Hires anyone and everyone and then wonders why it gets stuck with bad employees. - Has no concept of work-life balance; nothing is more important than the job, ever. - Union is useless. - Schedule changes at the drop of a hat. - Definitely not a merit-based promotional system; entirely how much rear end you kiss and when.

Pros

You get hands on patient experience Good insurance benefits

Cons

They work you to DEATH! The shifts are 12+ hours with ONE 45 min break!!! The management rides you about EVERYTHING They could careless about you as a person or employee. Attendance policy is impossible to keep. YOU WILL GET FIRED IF YOU GET SICK FROM ANOTHER PATIENT'S VIRUS AND MISS WORK!!! No communication between upper management and the peasant workers Terrible pay This company is NOT about "feeding the human spirit". Its about feeding the corporate pockets full of insurance money!

Pros

Was the worst experience I have ever had in a job

Cons

They are abuseive in training by threatening your job if you fail. Clapping and humiliation if you are late from break or work. Very low wages. Pushing to put you on the phones when you are not ready Pushing you to do a job( phones) and was hired for email Customer service Bulling your employees and making fun of them. Lunch time sucks (only 30 minutes) Training if awefull in that you have one trainer to 5 or more people so,no one on one time to try to develop any skills. Trainer plainly stated that they did not care about you or customers.
