Horrible culture. Stagnant company. I never had an 8 day week until I came to work here. - Assistant Manager Kroger Employee Review

Pros

None. Don't be fooled by the juicy contract they might offer you to get you sign up as a member of the salaried management at the store level.

Cons

No work life balance at all. No weekends off for some of us. Long working weeks that can add up to 60-80 hours a week. Insane! Upper management with unrealistic expectations, union defending worthless and disrespectful employees, non stoping customers complaints, store managers who treat you like a dog. They make you work excessive hours and then they want you to perform 150% all the time. Which is impossible. And then they get their mouth full talking about "feeding the human spirit" and "everyone friendly and caring" You only move up if you know someone and not because of what you put out.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
