Pros

Discounted Kroger Brand groceries. Bakery smells good. The economy is rough. It's a job. It was nice to help the regular customers. Vacation/Holiday pay.

Cons

Lack of respect from management. Low pay. (ending pay after 2yrs was $7.55 hr) Too much gossip. Pressured to push products that customers do not want/need. (to the point of insanity) No opportunity to advance after requesting repeatedly.

Pros

Pay was better with experience which luckily I had

Cons

Supervisors treated new people and others unfairly.Management had their favorites,and if you weren't one of them you were there just to fill a shift.One supervisor decided to make your work life miserable.The store I worked at was in one of the worst parts of town.

Pros

Company name looks great on your resume. You have the chance to learn a lot from such an established company. Company has manufacturing plants at locations all over the country. Aged mid-level and senior management staff which should open up opportunities for growth soon.

Cons

Old school management style with all of the screaming, threatening and cursing. Nepatism runs rampid in this company. It is all about who you know in order to advance in this company. If you do too good of a job in your position, you can get "stuck" there by your manager because they may not want to have to replace you if you advance on to anther position. Unfortunately if you are not an Ohio State grad you will have a more difficult time advancing in the company. Lots of promoting because of job tenure instead of job skills, experience and education. Lots of young educated production supervisors leave the company in less than two years because they see no room to advance. Pay compensation for management is below industry average.
