Pros

It's a job in the tough economic climate of 2008

Cons

I think they hold some people back while pushing lessor people forward. You've heard the slogan "Right store, Right Price" but the unspoken one is "Right place, right time" I have seen people with years of loyalty be turned down for jobs that they were born to be in (and they have the education for it). I've seen people who've been with the company for 6 months or less get promoted without any experience needed. Also, they don't pay people what they're worth. The only way to make money is to be a Unit Manger...but some people's skill sets are different and shouldn't other people make good money in the positions they're in. They don't give enough kudos to justify the small amount of pay. And how about a raise that is at least that of the rate of inflation?

Pros

It's huge, almost nationwide so you can really move just about anywhere. The people that work here are great. You have security because its so large that you don't really have to worry about being laid off.

Cons

It is uninspiring. Buzz words and rumors of change are tossed around but it doesn't happen. Moving up is a waiting game that you get conned into playing. Turnover is constant and high and no one seems to understand that you have to change what youre doing if you want that to change.

Pros

the best reason to work at kroger are the people you work with. they awork around what you need. and when you request a day off you usually get it. its the perfect job for kids in college looking for extra cash!!!!!

Cons

some downsides of working at kroger are that there are no set schedule and you work nights and weekends. you also have some mean customers. there is a lady she comes in every week and after she checks out she come to the cutomer service desk and complains about everything that didnt go her way.
