      This does not look like it did in the brochure.

      Pros

      It's huge, almost nationwide so you can really move just about anywhere. The people that work here are great. You have security because its so large that you don't really have to worry about being laid off.

      Cons

      It is uninspiring. Buzz words and rumors of change are tossed around but it doesn't happen. Moving up is a waiting game that you get conned into playing. Turnover is constant and high and no one seems to understand that you have to change what youre doing if you want that to change.

      Pros

      the best reason to work at kroger are the people you work with. they awork around what you need. and when you request a day off you usually get it. its the perfect job for kids in college looking for extra cash!!!!!

      Cons

      some downsides of working at kroger are that there are no set schedule and you work nights and weekends. you also have some mean customers. there is a lady she comes in every week and after she checks out she come to the cutomer service desk and complains about everything that didnt go her way.

      Hopeful but sometimes disillusioned with the path I'm on.

      Pros

      In this large a company, many opportunities exist for possible promotions. For someone willing to relocate, this is even more true. Its exciting to hear from upper management when they talk about where they started in the company and realize that, at some point, these avenues might be opened up for the next generation of managers.

      Cons

      Kroger works with a keen eye toward filling quotas. If you're not a minority, you slip to the bottom of the list for advancement in many cases. It seems to be more a matter of "replace a minority with a minority" (race, sex or both) to maintain the all-important quota. Secondly, the work-life balance program is great on paper, not so much if you work in the stores. Days off, holiday comp-days and vacations are continuously eliminated or postponed. The job is described as a 50 hour week (5 10 hour days) but often becomes 55 or 60 hours with no one taking notice.
