Pros

Friendly people, I worked at the front and cashiering/bagging is very straightforward - they offer incentives for getting faster at both and if you're good you can move up a little bit from bagger to cashier to self checkout to customer service.

Cons

Minimum wage wasn't fun, they didn't respect my requests as far as hours or days, and I have a feeling that, because of the quick turnover rate of entry level jobs, the floor manager and store supervisor didn't trust young people. I tried to call in sick one day and they had me come in anyway with no promise of early ending despite my fever, lack of voice, etc.

Pros

-Large company with a lot of opportunity -Virtually impossible to get fired, unless you do something crazy like try to hurt someone, even then you might just get moved. -Easy to learn and get experience

Cons

-They don't value higher education, they value time with the company -Very old school, good ole boy culture, very few none white males get to the top -They don't value innovative thinking, from inside of the company, they do from outsiders like Boston Consulting Group, Suppliers, Nielsen, etc.. -Difficult for young people to connect, most people in the office are 40 or higher or married with kids. -You can't move high unless you were a store manager -Hard to move up if you are not friends with someone high in the company -Lower the average industry salary -Only 10% off of Kroger branded product

Pros

Getting Paid every week and being able to eat lunch without leaving the property.

Cons

Some of the challenges of working at Kroger is that you have to fight to become a full-time employee and the management was horrible, the hours they give for a family to survive is horrible, front end managers are unprofessional, and the workers that they hire are not people oriented.
