Pros

Not much to say. If you get a great unit manager you'll have a great time at Kroger.

Cons

There's not to many great unit managers out there...Like most corporations, you're guilty until proven innocent and you take the flak when uppers are yelled at.

Pros

They're a progressive company if you're in one of the regions that is experiencing growth. They're open minded. If Walmart is the worst of retail, Kroger Marketplaces are the best of retail. Extensive and well paid for training (again, if in the proper regions).

Cons

You really need to be working at one of the Kroger Marketplaces to understand how well Kroger will shine ten years from now. If you're living in a place with slow economic growth relative to the national economic recovery averages and you're not working at a Marketplace .. if those are both checks for you .. then you may not see how Kroger is any better than any other retail company. This is both Kroger's strength & weakness - they're willingness to experiment and innovate - for those left behind it's not so great, but for those able to get in on the cutting edge .. it's better than any other retail experience one could have. Are there cases where I'm wrong? Have I seen people fired improperly? Perhaps. But for the most part - everyone at a Kroger Marketplace actually enjoys being there. There are always ups and downs. I would argue most people who don't get the hours they want are not getting them because of availability or a lack of arguing for them.

Not the best

Pros

10% off Kroger items. 20% off of Starbucks inside of Kroger stores. I got to bond with regular customers and I felt like I could make a difference.

Cons

Unfriendly customers.... I went above and beyond my job. I always came in on time, and I always came in when I was called in because others did a no call/no show, but I was never thanked or felt appreciated. Some managers felt that it was acceptable to ask very explicit and personal questions to entry level associates. I'm a student and I felt that school is my first priority, but managers told me that I had to take my job home with me.
