Pros

although the actual kroger store closes at 1 a.m. the meat department closes at 9. it takes about an hour to clean up if you have enough people so you will be able to leave no later than 10.

Cons

the starting salary for the hard work and extreme cold conditions is pretty darn low. for a natural raise you would have to wait at least 60 days.

Pros

They gave a 10% discount on kroger brand items.

Cons

Very poor training period. Generally, they give you a couple days training and toss you on register the third day. I was only there for 3 weeks and during that time, was given and timed on express only. Yes, they time you and if you don't get the proper time within a few days, they are looking to fire and replace you. Most of the old timers seem disgruntled and frustrated. My trainer said she wished she could give me more time on the register, kept kicking me off every 15 minutes.

Pros

The employees are really friendly which helps out alot. You can meet alot of cool and funny people. some of the customers are great. Some are really friendly and are great to talk to. constantly busy I like being busy to a point,so you can't really get too bored.

Cons

Pushing carts! It gets really hot outside and you can be out there for over an hour. Pay kinda low. For all the work we do I don't feel compensation is fair short breaks. I was outside pushing carts in the heat for almost two hours and only recieved a 15 minute break,and then I was sent right back out. Baggers get over worked and you are at the bottom of the totem pole. If you stand still for longer than a second you will get yelled out. You are constantly being pulled in eight diffrent directions at the same time;they expect you to do everything!
