Pros

Kroger tends to be growing in the Dallas area so there is some chance for advancement. They really want degreed mangement, but that is hard to find in the retail industry since degreed individuals want more of a 9-5 job with weekends off.

Cons

They are getting rid of full time employees and getting more part-time to cut costs, so mangement tends not to care about any employees

Pros

i have only been on the job for 2 weeks now and they seem to be flexible in the Drug GM department as far as my hours are concerned. That is important for me because I am studying for one of my board exams.

Cons

When it is slow and you are standing on your feet, the job is very tough and literally painful. They are not flexible about letting you help out in some other department that requires help. I guess it might be due to logiistical reasons. Maybe they want to tabulate how much is spent on employees in each department.

Pros

Honestly the only good thing about Kroger is how they balanced my school and work schedule. They gave me strictly 18 hours a week at 3-6hour day shifts and gave me morning shifts simply when I started to do a better job than my co-worker even though the Union bases work schedules off of seniority. That was a definite plus and little extra leverage I got. Other than that I promise you there is NO good reason to work at any kroger. Most krogers pay minimum wage to everyone except Pharmacy Techs, overnight stockers, and management. Anyone else makes at least...7.00-7.50, and this is WITH the 6.55 minimum wage standard.

Cons

Incompetent management, skeleton crews for each department leaving workers overworked and underpaid, terrible organization in the back room and receiving.
