Pros

They are hiring in a poor economy.

Cons

Kroger corporate is attempting to make the change to "green leadership" but are failing to make the necessary changes within the stores. Within the stores, everything is still under the good old boy system. If you are new to the organization, I think you will be disappointed. Senior management ignores you at best, pins all the negatives on you at worst. The few store managers I have worked for have been indoctrinated into the old way of things where, as long as you make a profit, other things will be overlooked- including time card fraud, OSHA and Health Code violations and nepotism to the point of union grievances over the unequal disciplinary action of policy infractions. Add to that the poor work life balance and you have a wonderful chance at being happy!

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.
