Kroger reviews

No work life balance at all. No weekends off for some of us. Long working weeks that can add up to 60-80 hours a week. Insane! Upper management with unrealistic expectations, union defending worthless and disrespectful employees, non stoping customers complaints, store managers who treat you like a dog. They make you work excessive hours and then they want you to perform 150% all the time. Which is impossible. And then they get their mouth full talking about "feeding the human spirit" and "everyone friendly and caring" You only move up if you know someone and not because of what you put out.

Company values are changing as the company continues to try and find itself and how to run a business after 135 years of being in business. Focus has changed to tighter/leaner labor, more expectations of existing employees, more focus on spending irresponsibly and less focus on the customer and the core business (groceries in, groceries out). Be prepared, if in store level management, to work long hours, jumping thru endlessly changing hoops and being held accountable from the bottom up-really the buck starts and stops with you.
