Kroger Reviews

Pros

Fast paced environment that keeps me busy

Cons

Benefits are not shown for employees

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

10 percent discount on store brands, great people (sometimes)

Cons

bad people (sometimes), needs to remodel store in Buford

Advice to Senior Management

Remodel the older stores! We need it in Buford! Its hurting us.

Pros

Flexible hours. Better than average pay. Decent benefits. Better benefits for full time.

Cons

There was a mistrust of managers toward employees, especially union employees. More criticism given than praise. Managers need to realize that in a grocery store, it's all about customer service and pricing. You need to reward instead of criticize those that give excellent customer service. It keeps customers coming back. Many managers fresh out of management training, too green to lead.

Advice to Senior Management

Realize employees are your greatest asset, not just a labor cost.

Pros

easy going croud, decent benefits, set/steady job.

Cons

pay, infrequency of hours, professionalism not emphasized

Advice to Senior Management

overall, no complaints really. apart from pay

Pros

4 day work week
Great benefits
Advancement opportunities
Overtime opportunites

Cons

Weak lower managment
People seem to have a problem separating the personal from business

Pros

Kroger does a great job of making employees feel needed and wanted within the store. They try to emphasize making the store feel like a small town marketplace where everyone knows each other. The benefits available are also quite nice.

Cons

Hours are often cut so that the small town feel is hard to achieve. Pay is also low compared to other comparative markets.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to lead without interfering. It seems that each new attempt to help us adds new chores for us to do each day, getting between us and the customer.

Pros

Great coworkers and customers make days enjoyable.

Cons

Compensation is often sub-par, work hours are erratic in many positions, and taking time off is difficult.

Pros

Benefits packages overall are good
Vacation time starts when you complete md1
Decent bonus if your at a high sales volume store

Cons

Customers are rude all the time
Corporate goals
Quality of life
Stress
Disconnect between upper management thinking how stores operate and what actually happens

Advice to Senior Management

Find out what is really happening in the stores and the expectations the dm's put on management.
Pay is low

Pros

Nice people to work with
Decent pay
Good medical insurance
Room for growth in company
Work nights not as many customers

Cons

I ran into horrible managers after a few years of working which is why I quit. To bad because I really enjoyed my job

Advice to Senior Management

Be more understanding of your employees personal problems. When I requested time off (and offered to use my vacation time) the response was: unless your grandmothers dead get to work. Very classy.

Pros

health insurance benefits, guaranteed raises, easy job

Cons

Union, it is really hard to gain a full time position, winter is super slow and hours are minimal
