Kroger reviews

no taste testing, can't recommend products to the customer if you dont know how the baked goods taste. No drinks, tons of work done in a freezer that is very easy to be locked in and forgotten about. Poor organization, schedules for too many hours (40+ hours when you were hired part time for a max of 20), no lunch. You have to schedule a lunch even if you are working an 8, 9, or 10 hour shift. They want you to eat during one of your two 15 minute breaks that half the time you don't even get. Lack of training, no food safety training prior to be out on the floor, misleading description of job duties.

The quality of people you have to work with isn't the most professional. Most are petty and drama seeking. The chance of you getting a holiday off (ie Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Easter, or New Years) is pretty slim when you're new since the scheduling goes by seniority. Everybody knows your business. While for the most part I like the management at Kroger- they have an issue with staying professional with confidentiality. I've been in the office multiple times using a computer or copy machine and can easily overhear a manager talking about an employee's personal business- sometimes even cracking jokes about it.
