Pros

I met and worked with some truly wonderful and amazing people at Kroger. The opportunities are endless, and I can honestly say that I learned new things every single day. Kroger likes to promote from within. Additionally, they pay very well and the benefits are incredible.

Cons

I worked nearly every weekend and holiday, and most nights or evenings. I had very little time or energy left for the people I loved.

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.
