Pros

The managers are nice when they hire you, two uniform shirts (and aprons if you work in bakery/deli) provided for free any others you must pay for. the people were nice in bakery and we had a cordial relationship.

Cons

-you will after three days on the floor be expected to close the bakery by yourself with no prior training on how to do so. -Manager/ Head of bakery will expect you to pick up their slack -They will give you a write-up and then yell at you on the sales floor (nice privacy isn't it) -After transferring upfront as a bagger and being told that i would get to be a cashier i never was trained for it -you were expected to get carts in half hour shifts that ended up being an hour or two, if you asked to come in out of the blazing heat or biting cold (like last winter up in indiana) they say "no, we need you on carts because the others are on break/we don't want our kickback baggers (mentally challenged individuals who were hired obviously for such a purpose) to get sick. -my favorite was that because kroger employees have a union they cant fire you but if they dont like you they will give you one or two 4 hour shifts in a whole week so your pay at minimum wage comes out to 45 dollars after taxes

Pros

They do a lot for the community and do employ lots of people needing work.

Cons

Work life balance is expected to be more work, less life. Things sound great in the office, but don't work in the store.
