Pros

Generally speaking time off requests are granted within a timely manner. Additionally there is room for upward movement. It seems that the company is some sort of transition, so right now would be the time to get a higher management position.

Cons

Where to begin. Management is extremely inconsistent. One week you could be working under the nicest person in the world, and the next you could be working under someone who has no business being in a management position. I have personally had the best, and worst managers. Additionally, the scheduling is absolutely awful. You will work 10 days sometimes with no empathy from upper management. "They did it, so you should too." Wages don't make any sense whatsoever. I was above a person making over 4 dollars an hour than I was. This person was my assistant. Why does that make sense. Raises are joke, wages are a joke, and there is literally no reason to move forward. No stock options, no bonuses, limited over time, and you are always being told how bad you are doing. The environment is so toxic I had to seek mental health help just to get through it.

Pros

One stop shopping convenience. Employee discounts. Many lo actions i.e.one in each community. Union benefits. Many internal job listings -- growth opportunities. Part of 3000 plus stores Kroger co. so relocation opportunities. Corporate center jobs. Weekly pay. Vacation and medical dental vision benefits.

Cons

Environment can get obsessive compulsive. Layout of stores can get messy and change too often. People in different departments can lack team spirit towards others. Managers and coworkers can exhibit attention deficit. Coworkers can lack speed of response and of transaction processing and can tend to lack physical fitness. Cash registers can be cluttered and overmerchandised. Physical fixtures can be unnecessarily big and heavy. Store public announcement system can lack clarity of sound. Offerings in deli and bakery can lack imagination. Pastries offered in Pete's or Starbucks can be plain and unappealing. Coffee sold can be too dark a blend. Restrooms not numerous enough . Music playing can be really old or lack quality. Lunchroom can seem too functional and unclean. Hours worked can be repetitive. Parking lots can be unprepossessing . New Kroger setup can create too many store assistant managers who walk around not having much to do.
