Pros

Never had superiors criticize me negatively; people give me a lot of positive comments; I usually get whatever days off I want; after being there a year they gave me 30-40 hours a week; I got benefits after 18 mos. I missed several days of work due to sickness on a few occasions and they didn't give me any hassle over it. It's a really good company.

Cons

When I started I was called in a lot on my days off (they haven't for a long time now). Sometimes I get tired of bagging all the time, it gets monotonous, so I expressed interest in finding a new position recently, maybe something will work out.

Pros

the best reason to work for kroger is the benefits that are offered to employees even if they're only part time.

Cons

the downside of working at kroger on hickory hill, for the past six weeks maybe even more, our checks aren't available for pick up until after about four in the evening. some of us such as myself have bills to pay by a certain time. by the time we are able to pick them up, im either in a rush to pay before close of business or hit with a late fee because it wasnt payed on time on this particular day. all that i ask is that we are able to receive our payments at the time that is shown in the policy book. it's our money that we've worked hard for, and we would greatly appreciate it if we could get it at the same time other kroger employees in this city gets theirs.

Pros

None, unless you consider 10% off their own merchandise a pro, but remember it has to be a Kroger brand otherwise its full price. Expect to be trample on by other employees who have tenure. Believe me if they been around and know the store manager they will take the easy route and leave you with the bulk load.

Cons

Horrible hrs and insufficient pay. Not to mention that unless your a manager of a sub-department you won't be able to get over time. Yet they expect the work to be finish and be of excellent quality. Well when you don't give enough hours and you keep bothering to do something else. Of course the job is not going to get finish and its of poor quality. Also, the current managers won't even bother with utilizing the ability to get overtime.
