Current Employee – been working at Kroger

ProsGreat health benefits if you stick around long enough to get them. Flexibility with hours. Opportunity for advancement if you go after it. Some of the nicest people I have met work here. Unionized.

ConsSome of the people that have worked here several years are very bitter. Sometimes they will schedule you very late, then very early the next day. You get about 8 hours until you have to be back. It can take a long time to get promoted.
