Pros

Good pay and Good benefits. I think kroger has the room to really climb up to the top. The supervisors are very nice but do a good job at keeping everyone productive. They give you the opprutunity to show what you're made of in order to excel. You rarely work more than 8 hours a week and they give you the opprutunity to work over time if you need to get payed time and a half.

Cons

There are times when the work environment is stressful with strenous activities. If you are struck mananging the parking lot then you might have to deal with harsh weather conditions.

Pros

There is very good training opportunities that is usually relevent to the required job tasks. There is a very good possibilities of promotion due to the various disciplines and departments such as facilities, manufacturing, retail, and new store construction or up grades. There is very good team work due to the integration of engineering and production and quality and safety. There are large capital improvement budgets in order to remain competitive with the competition both locally and nationally. It is usually a very fun place to work because it is very fast paced and the days tend to fly by.

Cons

Long hours are required during project installations and these are not usually compensated, noticed or acknowledged. It seems there is not ever enough time to get everything done required by upper management including audits, budgets, projects and the day to day activities to keep an aging plant and its associated infrastructure. It is a tight rope walk to keep old equipment running yet stay within spending on capital improvement budgets and maintenance budgets. It is difficult to justify the addition of maintenance mechanics so we are forced to work overtime which in the short term is good but in the long term can be a morale issue.

Pros

Was fun for a college job. I worked there part time to pay the bills. The best thing was the stack purchasing plan. Even though I was a part time college kid, I could put $20 a week toward buying Kroger stock at no additional brokerage fees. You could buy partial shares. The stock even split.

Cons

Could make more working at a factory, but at least it was air conditioned. Being a college town, I felt that some of the management was discouraging towards staying in college. My boss wanted me to stay and keep working at Kroger. She was a long time employee. She said that after 20 years I could make $12.75 an hour like her!!!
