Pros

Modern technological implementations with mostly a modernized agile approach.

Cons

Even with modernized tech and processes, the culture at Kroger leaves a lot to be desired. More often than not upper management use techniques to get teams to do their bidding using a series of less-than-desirable practices. I was witnessed to engineering teams being forced to attend 6-7 hours of daily meetings. Likewise, during the next day would be yelled at “why isn’t the work done from yesterday”. I hope that in time, with enough effort, this culture will shift to the better and appreciate the hardworking talent Kroger has. All told, I do believe change has to happen from the top down.

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.
