I have found that employee loyalty to the company far exceeds the company's loyalty to the employee. - Deli Clerk Kroger Employee Review

Pros

The team I work with in the deli is fantastic. In fact, if not for them and their support, I would find this job almost unbearable. We provide positive feedback to each other and help each other out.

Cons

There is no positive feedback from management. Whenever the company needs you, you're expected to be on call for them. However, your "reward" for helping them out is to have your hours cut the next week. I personally have gone to management with concerns or problems and had an upper management person tell me to quote "suck it up" and " you're expendable". In my opinion, that's not a professional or acceptable response to an employee.
