Pros

Working with plants, being outside.

Cons

The job described does not match what the job is actually like. When I was hired I was told that you would most likely be off by noon everyday. Everything is inconsistent. You can’t plan around anything because trucks never come when they say they are going to. Working with the Kroger management is an absolute nightmare. You get little to no support from management. There have been several issue I’ve had with the company about my time card not being correct. Missing hours on my pay stub or finding out I was clocked out already when leaving a store for the day. I recommend anyone working for this company to keep a close eye on your time card and make sure it matched your pay stub! Almost all of the Kroger employees express how much they hate our company and because of that we are retaliated against in stores. The work load for one person especially if you have multiple stores is astronomical. They micromanage their employees when clocking in and out and with go spot check. Don’t hire people you don’t trust to clock in and out independently.
