Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Kroger are the benefits and on the job training. The benefits include employee discounts and health insurance. Many of the skills learned on the job transfer well into other settings and better jobs. This is a good first job because of the oportunity to gain valuable people skills and make positive first impressions on future employers and coworkers.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Kroger are schedules, compensation, and coworkers. Due to the nature of the business, schedules are only made for one week at a time and requests for time off are 'only requests'. This makes it difficult to make future personal plans. Compensation starts at minimum wage and everyone starts as part-time. This is not enough income for a single income household with dependents. Because this is a great first job, many of the coworkers are 'unskilled' and this can cause intense workplace frustration.

Pros

Kroger is a good company. The pharmacy division is a well-run division in my opinion from my experience working with them.

Cons

The downside of working at Kroger is that sometimes information does not pass from corporate to the stores in a timely manner.
