Kroger reviews

Rampant micromanagement, low pay with small incremental raises, heavy workloads with little to no help, overall poor work to life balance. Limits to your hours to keep you from getting full time status, and thus obtaining insurance benefits. Confusing and arbitrary pay scale, it changes based on your time with Kroger and on which contract you were hired under, instead of basing it on performance and skill.

-Very difficult to move up and be noticed in the zone unless you are a drinking buddy of the zone manager. -Frequent disrespect from zone management which can include being cursed at, unprofessional conversations & being yelled at and embarrassed in front of coworkers. -Schedule is very hectic which is to be expected in retail. -Low pay compared to similar companies with similar position. -Can't get a good evaluation unless they think you are ready to run your own store. You can do a great job at your current point in your career but can't be evaluated fairly because you don't have enough time in to be a store manager. -Constant store visits from upper management distract from helping customers and actually doing the job that needs to be done. -Never being recognized for doing a good job, just being beat on the head when numbers aren't met.
