Pros

Pay was ok. Ok.

Cons

“Leadership” is horrible including their HR department. There’s no support for some management personnel at all. They hire and promote personal friends which creates favoritism and unfairness. There’s no development opportunities unless you are a personal friend with one of these people in charge, they gossip and keep and very toxic atmosphere. Big cliques culture, their “senior” managers/supervisors are repulsive. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy.

Pros

Kroger plus card and some nice employees who unfortunately have to stay employed there.

Cons

This is the most discriminatory company I have ever worked for. First off they have very high turnover and will hire anything because they’re desperate. They run there good help off because of a lack of professionalism and poor treatment. This store in particular runs like it’s in a third world country and the management is ignorant and unscrupulous. They have no sense of morals or integrity. I was a cheese shop manager successfully for a year and a half. When I took on the role In September 2017 the store was beautiful and it was a pretty nice job while I was in college. I would constantly get praised for my hard work and for increasing the sales. In the winter of 2018 the management hands switched and all hell broke loose. The morale declined and management pretty much began to send the message that they don't care about their employees. The current management has no regard for black people and will single one out as a manager in the morning huddles of a predominantly white staff for no apparent reason. When you file a complaint for this inappropriate behavior the store management and the whole district will retaliate against you. They will do anything from sabotage, lots of dishonesty, set ups, harassing, bullying, degrading, disrespecting, trying to make you feel incompetent and singling you out more to try to justify their wrong doing. I actually began to believe that the whole company was made up of people with mental disorders. What’s appalling is that instead of the district trying to resolve the issue in an amicable way, they condone it and all begin working in concert aiding in the activity. I have a bachelor’s degree and after I made this legitimate complaint, this company did everything under the sun to try to make me look stupid and tear me down. These people have this hideous idea that they are intelligent but this is just a grocery store and at the end of the day it shows where their intelligence lies when after two years they discover a manager is incompetent because they made a legitimate complaint. This was a very hostile working environment and I was more than happy to terminate my employment from that nasty company. The management has no class and it repulses me to tell anyone I even worked there. I am very content now after I found a real job in my field that appreciates, values me as a person and recognizes my hard work.

Pros

Coworkers, benefits, location, employee resource groups

Cons

Status quo is rewarded, different viewpoints are punished. Senior leaders pretend to care about "feeding the human spirit," but it's all a show.
