Pros

The other employees are nice and make it possible for one to make it through the day. The managers of the store and individual departments are cool as well. This is sad, i can't even really think of good reasons to work at kroger. It's a job. If you can't find one anywhere else, then kroger is the place for you.

Cons

1. Don't expect to make much (despite the fact you do more work than basically everyone there) 2. I hate how everyone brings up the "seniority" card for everything. I've been here four years longer than you... it's absurd. I understand that seniority means something, but it shouldn't mean everything. I do more work than you. you take extra breaks without clocking out. You take 50 smoke breaks. And it takes you 6 hours to complete something....so how does this person make 6 dollars more than me?....oh yeah. just because he has been here longer. 3. Why cant i get a raise just because im a good worker and deserve it. But no, you have to work a freakish amount of hours to get a worthless raise of maybe .10 to.15 cents. I think its about 1000 hours to get a raise. That will take me forever to get a raise. I work about 20 hours a week being part time and going to college. 4. Basically what im saying is that after a year and a half im not even making 8 dollars...i wish i could convey to all you how much more work i do than all these people. You can thank the union for that. They keep s**tty workers around that honestly should have been let go several times. And dont even talk to me about how the union fight for me....they do nothing except fight for the lazy people that complain when they get fired. Not to mention that with these union dues i pay every week that im pretty much making minimum wage. NO balance between work and personal life. I have come in on my days off, come in early, and have stayed late numerous times. And do not expect anyone to recognize that or give you anything in return...barely a thank you. Dont expect to request a day off without someone throwing a fit .

Pros

Not as busy as most other pharmacies, depending on the location. Some of the customers may be nice. Can rotate through different stations as a tech.

Cons

Not enough training. Training is very remedial. Customers can be very rude or impatient. Hours seem to be quite rigid. Computers are not that great there.
