Pros

If you don't mind living your whole life in the store, good pay Potential for moving up, if you want to - I worked with Co-Managers who started as baggers

Cons

Unofficial 13-hour shifts Unrealistic expectations Employee discount on Kroger brand items only - 10% 6-day work weeks Scheduled 32 hours during holidays to avoid giving you extra holiday pay Absolutely NO work/life balance

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.
