Weekly pay, great benefits, perks working in office

Bad managers, inconsistent, rude, no training

I've found no matter Kroger I work at that my coworkers are amazing and kind. Usually is flexible with my schedule and they offer tuition reimbursement.

I work in the Starbucks and they throw away any and all outdated food, they do not donate it. The thing is you can and will be fired for taking any of it home and you only get a 10% employee discount so in terms of store based benefits they aren't very good. Additionally I've worked at 2 different Kroger's now and I have to say that the management at both has been lacking. They are inattentive, inefficient, and insensitive. They usually don't schedule correctly or ignore any requests you try to make about your schedule even if you make them in advance. I usually have to get my reschedule for a week redone about once a month, oftentimes they leave it to me though to get someone to cover my shifts even if the reason my schedule is wrong is them. They refuse to work with you or even do basic parts of their job. It took me 4 week just to be transferred because my managers refused to email another store. It's incredibly frustrating to be on the opposite end constantly calling opposite stores and different stores to resolve an issue only to find out that the issue is your managers.

3 weeks vacation starting, good amount of holiday and personal days off, good benefits package, most of employess that's not management is friendly and the job can be enjoyable at times.

upper management, they can transfer you to another store within the district at any time, long hours 50+hrs a week, a lot of night shifts starting off, get off at midnight a lot, a lot of metrics that must be hit, a lot of standards that you must comply to, extremely nit picky about everything, upper management takes the fun out of working here, they make it about the numbers and metrics more than the people. constant email and whatsapp messages that make you tune out and not care

Being a pharmacy tech makes you socially appear more put together, even though the pay isn't better. Schedules can be mildly flexible. Kroger offers a medium value health insurance and other paid perks. Sometimes you get grocery vouchers for holidays.

If the store starts falling apart, the amount of time it takes to filter and train up employees to be useful means that you will not only have dead weight that will make you unable to do your job, but somehow be expected to train them while not being able to do your job. Usually in normal jobs, if someone needs training, hours are accordingly administered and the new person has a dedicated trainer, is sent to a slower store, or the store itself has enough flex that they can afford to train. Our store was not like that. Every single employee, from the oldest techs to the nearly as old lead and assistant pharmacists all quit over time. We were expected to function while we used our normal working hours while someone who wasn't qualified to even be a cashier barely handles a minimal amount of tasks. Over and over again. This is only my primary complaint. There was sanitation issues, laws were bent or broken regularly, they kept adding more work for techs to do when we couldn't even keep up the bare minimum of filling prescriptions. When your team is excellent and your store/area manager isn't focused entirely on metrics that they destroy the foundation of the business and make both the employees and customers constantly enraged, it CAN be good. Just expect to transfer if it's not, because if a store seems bad, it will not change.
