Pros

Insurance was the cheapest around, 10% off all Kroger brand items and other Kroger affiliated brands. Building relationship bonds with your people.

Cons

Management is treated like crap so they treat you like crap. Management bullies you into working and if you don't, they never forget. Management wound so tight due to being over worked too! Kroger really fights the Union, which creates a rift in how things are managed. Kroger keeps taking away from their employees futures by reducing how much vacation time they can earn, reducing their benefits, removing Sunday pay and almost no incentive programs exist anymore. They set unrealistic goals for all employees and/or departments because a few people were able to do it in their locations. They cut hours so far that you have to lie, chest and steal to get your work completed by the unrealistic goals set by senior leadership.

Pros

Job security, always short of help so as a manager, you have to do the job of many! 60 hours plus is normal!

Cons

Kroger doesn’t care about their employees, especially management. There is no work life balance because you work all the time!
