Long-term employee stuck under a glass ceiling

Grocery Clerk (Current Employee)
West Frankfort, IL

I have been working at Kroger full-time for more than 10 years

ProsKroger has stores all over the U.S. so there are plenty of options on where to work.

ConsThe company is very cookie-cutter. Every store in a division is told what to display even if that product doesn't sell well in their area.

Advice to Senior ManagementGive stores the option of vetoing product displays that will only create back-stock in the future.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Chaotic, micromanaged, rightsizing, bureaucracy, short-term profit

Operations Supervisor (Former Employee)
Jonesboro, AR

I worked at Kroger full-time for more than 8 years

ProsCustomers and co-worker interaction. Rapport

ConsConstant downsizing and Key Retailing

Advice to Senior ManagementHave floor walkers devoted to customer service. Increase manpower. Don't pull employees from one department to help another. You either serve the customers or the manufacturers.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great Opportunity

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)
Blue Ash, OH

I worked at Kroger full-time for more than a year

ProsI was able to move up really quickly when a position opened up. They noticed my potential and excellent work attitude and I was given what is known as a Merit Raise... Kroger is unionized and the only way to get a raise is to work there so many hours, or get a Merit Raise. The Merit Raise gives you 2 pay scales above what you were getting paid but there's something about it only being allowed once.

ConsStrict rule enforcement can seem mundane and pointless. There's always someone important walking around who notices something.

Advice to Senior ManagementAsk more questions! Show more care to the little guy and you will see a great increase in work performance.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
