Kroger reviews

Prepare to miss ALOT of family functions and activities with friends as you'll be working almost every weekend and holiday. At one point I went 4 months without a full weekend off. If you want the statisics: ALL of the people I trained with from the local area are no longer with the company. Of the class of about 20 trainees who were in my 5 month Co-manager training program, over 15 have left the company. I even spoke with one of my old Store Managers and he stated that i'd made the right decision in leaving (with all the new programs and tasks on your plate with nothing being removed- one could simply work 24hrs a day and still have work to do). Even some of the store managers are biding their time until they can retire.

Where to start they want a minimum of 50 hours a week for what breaks down to about 20 hours of pay when you look at the big picture. Management is required at to be in the store for at least the 50 hours. The staff in each store are not the brightest but what do you expect for seven to eight dollars an hour. Department managers make more than the store co-managers you can believe that. With the lower class of worker filling the needed spots in the store, the co-manager winds up being the workhorse. What do I mean you sack, chase carts, stock, clean, you name it. Trust me there are better options in the retail world out there.
