It completely depends on your manager.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good insurance (when you can get it) Can move around to different positions in the store

Cons

Happiness depends completely on the competence of your manager. Only guaranteed 20 hours a week, and insurance for non-union required 100 hours a month to get. You can be scheduled to close (until 11:00) and then scheduled to open (7:00) and get no overtime. Unless you explicitly request a weekend off, you can be scheduled to work every weekend in a year.

Starting salary not worth it for deli clerks for the work they do.

Deli clerk

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are a plus. Raises are based on clock hours not on performance. Chance to move up in within the Kroger company. Kroger has groceries across the united states so you can transfer and move if needed. Paid every week.

Cons

Starting rate for deli clerk is low for the work they do. Picking up slack from co workers who don't work as hard don't really get recognition or paid more if you work harder than others. Full time only for assistant and managers. Hours are different every week. Odd hours they give you. Have to be in one department for 6 months even if you don't like it before you can apply for a different department which isn't a 100% guarantee you will be able to switch.

Work flexibility, good team, and it is like most stores where there is food. it seems to be good. I like stopping the to shop in between

We have a lot of theft. the only way to stop is to catch them. maybe they should have a door checker
