Kroger reviews

Poor scheduling, low hours, extremely low pay. This tied in with bad working conditions (especially for courtesy clerks) plus a poorly managed store in my personal experience lead to a dreadful ten months working at a place where the employee's needs were rarely taken care. I witnessed people who have hit a dead end in their careers and that is extremely depressing. Extremely glad that I left that place and now I couldn't be happier.

They lie upon signing your employment papers, in telling you that you HAVE to belong to the union in order to become employed with them. However, MI is a 'right to work' state, and since I had no intentions of doing anything I would lose my job over, I didn't need a lackluster union rep to defend me. Especially not at $8.15 per hour. Therefore, I expressed my concern over having to sign that particular form, but was made to sign it "or else". I asked that my feelings and statement be noted for the record. I have since learned I did not have to join, and have been trying to get out of it - and be reimbursed for the exorbitant dues they've extracted for the past several months. Not a happy place to be employed. Not a particularly friendly or associate-encouraging place to be. Very cut-throat atmosphere. The upper management are bullies (they play favorites) - most notably the head store manager. It's a very demeaning place to be.
