Not the worst place I've worked but not great either

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company so many locations if you need to transfer. Health, dental, etc. Base daily experience will depend on in store managers.

Cons

Will cut your hours without notice to hit corporate numbers. Seems to have unrealistic expectation on how much one person can accomplish in a work day and prefers to be understaffed. Base daily experience will depend on in-store managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Kroger has some interesting projects, in a very active industry. They aren't a traditionally technology focused company. Kroger rewards loyalty and it's easy to become a long time employee if you can stick out the inefficencies.

Cons

The culture of the company is based in Cincinnati, and they don't do a good job of communicating or collaborating with satellite offices. Despite being new to technology, the company has developed a lot of rigid policies. There are many teams all pulling in different directions, without a coherent strategy. Each team has authority over their small corner of the system, and they fight to defend it against the needs of other teams.
