Going downhill fast

Pros

Not too much to put here any longer. USED to be a fantastic job. The company will tell you that they "are listening." But nothing has changed for the positive over the last two years. They have associates fill out a yearly survey, which gives us a chance to vent about the company, yet it is evident nobody hears it.

Cons

Our store in particular has gone spiraling down so quickly. We got a new store manager about a year and a half ago who is very strict and the worst manager I've ever seen. I've gone through five store managers over the years. None have been as autocratic as this one. And the company: Kroger cares about itself. It doesn't care about who does the actual work. The turnover rate at my store was around 30%. Now it's at 84%. Managers expect more and more and more. But they don't give us people to help. All they do is criticize. After 8 years, I'm job hunting.

Pros

Customers are great and friendly

Cons

Management sucks and when I switched from bakery to deli I recived little training in deli and the head of bakery harasses me about making cookies even when I am in the middle of helping a customer and they have restarted my 30 day probation because the supervisor said I wasn't doing my job correctly and that I was too slow but how can they expect me to do my whole job correctly if I haven't been trained in everything that I am suppose to do and the supervisor has a habit about talking about me and others behind our back. Oh and they recently have started cutting my hours.
