      Stressful

      Assistant store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great hidden paycheck benefits ie insurance, 401k, discounts, etc. Salary is ok, but since you're required to work 50+ hours a week, the hourly rate is not worth the time and stress. Don't get overtime because they'll offer just enough salary to meet legal regulations.

      Cons

      Stressful, 10+ hour days, work all weekends, holidays, evenings, never a set schedule, constantly changing; hard to make plans. Expectations from upper management are unnatainable but expected from them who have not worked in a store in years. And you're not given tools, or enough time to meet their demands. Can't hire hourly employees due to low pay mostly (people can't survive this day in age earning $9-11/hr at part time!) Company slashes hours in order to make up for frivolous spent $, and uses the excuse of trying to keep prices down in order to remain competitive against Amazon, Wal-Mart etc. Ironically, everyone I know or meet says kroger is still more expensive. Can't get promoted unless you impress the "right" people or are young and have no experience so they can "mold" you to what they want.

      Worst company on the planet.

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are some wonderful hardworking people at Kroger that I enjoy working with every day! They are the reason I stick around.

      Cons

      Red leadership type culture. The company is falling apart and the blame is coming down on the store management and associates. The low pay and union contract combo make it very difficult to motivate employees. Working at Kroger is a never ending battle that Kroger will ultimately lose. I urge you to stay away from this place unless it’s the last place for you to take care of yourself and your family. God bless!

      Kroger Technology

      Applications engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Kroger Technology environment was a great place to work. Middle Management and Associates are exceptional people to work alongside. There are many perks in addition to salary, including a great benefits package, performance bonuses, flexible scheduling, and earned vacation time, to name a few. My only reason for leaving after 20 + years was a Voluntary Retirement Offering that was too good to pass on, and a concern for the direction of the company.

      Cons

      Senior management appears to be failing. It is my opinion, that recent downturns in the company's financials are related to the current CEO, and the direction he is taking the company. I recently accepted a Voluntary Retirement Offer as part of their attempt to decrease O G & A expenses. However, in decreasing their work force, they lost a large number of very capable associates, and with them a tremendous amount of knowledge. This has impacted operations further, as can be seen by their most recent financials. I enjoyed my time with the company, but as of this posting, would not recommend them as a place to work, if you are looking for a long-term position. I believe there to be too much uncertainty in regards to their direction.
