Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 1.0Jul 7, 2021Assistant Store ManagerCurrent EmployeeMiamisburg, OH
Pros
The benefits and pay are good when you become established. A lot of really great people
Cons
Work life balance is non existent and the company just keeps asking for more with less and less resources
- 1.0Apr 26, 2010Store ManagementCurrent EmployeeCincinnati, OH
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!
