One Of The Worse Employers Ever!

Pros

Not really sure if there are any, other than gaining experience for your resume and move on to something way better.

Cons

There are many such as long hours, very low wage pay, raises are in cents that it is pathetic compared to all the work and experience on may have. Also management is never really at work they are paid to be elsewhere instead of in the stores where they are needed this goes for all departments. Benefits come out of your paycheck every week and if you get tricked into joining the union then that is even more money out of your measly paycheck that you are already getting. On-boarding is horrible and I feel sorry for the new hires as they have to literally call their managers and try to get a hold of them and wait around to be scheduled to actually work after training, but its not really managements fault being as the company they work for is pathetic and disorganized. It's like a behemoth of corporate evil at its best but pretends to wear a caring mask.

Pros

Very flexible hours if you're a student. The job is not very physically demanding. Great place to work as a student or part timer.

Cons

Work life balance is terrible once in management. If you're not in good with the right people you will not move up. Same politics that go on with most companies.

Dead End Job

Pros

The only pros of working at Kroger is that you get paid weekly. This helps in maintaining your budget on a day to day basis instead of relying on only two day of the month in which you get paid. Besides that, if you're not full time then you get zero benefits whatsoever. The co-workers were generally nice however.

Cons

Poor scheduling, low hours, extremely low pay. This tied in with bad working conditions (especially for courtesy clerks) plus a poorly managed store in my personal experience lead to a dreadful ten months working at a place where the employee's needs were rarely taken care. I witnessed people who have hit a dead end in their careers and that is extremely depressing. Extremely glad that I left that place and now I couldn't be happier.
