Pros

Great associates and customers. Upper management has some great ideas for driving customer satisfaction and sales. Makes for a good experience with happy customers.

Cons

Little regard for the work life balance. Don't follow the HR policies for time off for holidays or extra days worked. District management says they are suggestions not policies. Management is understaffed. We have a position for three co-managers but only have two co-managers. The second co-managers gave notice last week so now I'm the only co-manager in a three co-manager store. The plan involves management working more days not replacing the missing managers.

Pros

Benefits, Bonuses, Insurance, Customers and Relationships built.

Cons

Stressful long hours and demanding workload. I've ran numerous stores for this company and the demands, stress, long work days and non existent family time are reasons I must warn young, bright, career minded individuals to think twice before committing your life to Kroger. What they promise you on work life balance versus real life reality are entirely different. Once at the co-manager level and above, 6 and 7 day work weeks are the norm and your hours will be long and you will very seldom ever enjoy a traditional holiday with any of your family members again.
