Pros

Excellent work/life balance. Discounts on Kroger products and gas. Great opportunities to travel to other US locations to work with others on the company dime. Benefits are good. All the free food you can eat.

Cons

Pays staff employees below market value. Unorganized and at times management is not reasonable. Behind on current technology and systems. Lack of funding for different projects and recent company travel because of current budget restraints.

Pros

Long hours so working minimum wage is almost livable.

Cons

The people around you are unhappy, they lie to you to get you to accept the job and then forget about you. Some of the lies I was told were that I would get a free coffee every day at the starbucks, that I would be working in the furniture department, that I would receive good benefits, and that my breaks and hours would be regulated and upheld by the company and even the union they practically force you into. Bad training and then blamed in your performance review that you don't work hard enough. Applied as part time and working full time hours. Slow to get raises if you do at all. I am a part-time, minimum wage (7.45 an hour) floor associate and some nights I am forced to work and close the entire home department by myself. That includes baby, toy, domestics, home decor. Four HUGE sub departments. It's ridiculous.

Pros

Food safety training is thorough.

Cons

If there was a union steward, I was supposed to meet him or her during training. They checked that off without introducing us. My supervisor was harsh and kept calling me "Miss (Birth name instead of nickname)" in a sarcastic tone. My husband told me to quit when I told him I didn't feel safe working with deteriorating equipment. I tried to submit my resignation to my manager in person, but after fifteen minutes of paging, I handed it to someone else and went home.
