Pros

Flexible schedule: if you're a student, it's very convenient since you can make your schedule work for you. Unionized: at least they have to have a reason to fire me. Upward salary: I know people who've been working there for 20 years. A lot of them make $20+ hour

Cons

Management: you guys just aren't very hands on. If we need help, there's nothing we can really do Beginning salary: it's a minimum wage job, what else can I say. Understaffed: you are pretty busy.... All the time. Sometimes, you have to compromise.

Pros

- They worked with my schedule, though sometimes I had to put my foot down. - Job was easy

Cons

- Management treats you like you're an idiot and a child even though I was approaching 30. - Pay is low, no opportunity for real advancement. - Experience can vary drastically depending on your current supervisor and store location. - They will try to call you in and pressure you to work more than you want, and on days you requested off. You have to be willing and ready to ignore calls and say no a lot.

Pros

Kroger does provide great health benefits and good stock options. And there are many areas for career advancement

Cons

If you want to work for a company that doesn't care about it associates, this is the place for you. If you are a hard worker you will be overworked with no credit given, while lazy associates are allowed to do nothing with no consequences. Associates plot against each other and set one another and members of management up for failure. Older associates that have been around for 20 years are extremely resistant to change and have zero consequences for their actions.
