Kroger reviews

Management is out of touch with pharmacy practice. They don't understand high volume stores and how to keep good employees. Vacation and PTO is also terrible. You get 3 weeks upon hiring but they force you to use it a week at a time so you can't use vacation days for 4 day weekend getaways. You get 3 flexible PTO days but they cannot be used on weekends or on days where you work 12 hours. If your partner uses a PTO day then you are forced to work their shift regardless of what your schedule is (let's say you were morning shift and then your partner requests PTO, they will only send a pharmacist from 9 to 5 so you are forced to work night shift). I was happy with the company until a change in management convinced me that I was not going to move up the company ladder so I began the search for another job.

- Do not work as a bagger, you have to clean toilets. They didn't tell me this when I was hired and I was furious when I found out. I only stayed because I wanted money to buy my own things. - They always complained that I wasn't getting enough carts, but I have asthma and pushing a lot of carts messes up my breathing. - They never appreciated me for what I did. - Made me work Thanksgiving. - I would have worked Christmas Eve if I hadn't been fired for - you guessed it - not doing carts fast enough and them running out. - I do not recommend working at this place, as most of the management was rude and stuck up. - Management sometimes didn't let me out for my breaks/lunch on time. One time it took them an extra hour to let me off for lunch. I was livid. - This poor woman quit because she was forced to go to the bottle room while she had a really bad stomach ache. I'm glad she quit before she went to the bottle room though.
