Kroger Pharmacist

Pros

The pharmacist are paid very well. However, central indiana pharmacy zone managers are unethical, lie and will do anything to get their bonus. They tell tell the pharmacist whatever it takes to pacify and let the problem subside. They hire anyone with a license and tell them they will float for awhile. ALSO, the "floater" pharmacist are paid less than the staff pharmacist and perform the same responsibilities.

Cons

Not enough technician help! Always short, many mornings of opening the pharmacy without a technician until 11 AM or having my last technician leave at 7 pm (open until 9 pm). However, that pro of great pay comes with the con of other benefits decreased to make the pay scale look fabulous. So it is actually all a check and balance. And Kroger does make sure they get their money worth.

Pros

-The employees are like family -depending on which kroger you work at you can learn a lot about your job -The insurance is pretty amazing

Cons

-Managers are on a power trip -even though I knew how to do everything in 3 departments I never got promoted even though I was promised -Kroger is really dirty ( the kitchens and deli especially) -out dated and disgusting food are used -you experience the most stress with corporate is taking a tour through the store. managers completely have a mood change are complete madmen -too much is expected of you for the pay -pay rates should be based on merit, but instead is based on seniority. -Many people get blamed for the wrong things -many managers have no training in the departments so they have no idea what they are trying to dictate -If you dont know your union rules Kroger does everything to screw you over (cutting hours, breaking the rules to write you up, etc.) -its all politics -you get to review your managers and how you think the store is doing, believe me no changes come

Pros

Meeting the people and getting to know your customers

Cons

Where do I start, first they want you to wear a tie to unload trucks, second you have to deal with grown woman argueing about a teenager getting more hours than them and they aren't even available, then you have to deal with a unit manager that only cares about himself than his staff where he has only worked one weekend so far this year and please dont let the other manager go out then you are stuck closing all the time while he the unit manager goes home at 1 or 3. Don't forget about the threats of the union.
