OK for entry-level job; Beware of Union - Do Not Join Union in right-to-work states like Texas - Courtesy Clerk Kroger Employee Review

Laid back job. Great team. Good to learn about wine

None really it's a laid back job

Great benefits at a reasonable cost. First year you get 2 weeks vacation, 5 PTO days, and 5 Health and Wellness days. Loved the hourly (union) people I worked with at various locations. They become your second family

- Crazy schedule. You will be either scheduled to work a 7-5, 12-10, or a 9-7 depending on the location. And even when the schedule is posted for the period it typically changes week to week, so do not bother making plans. And get ready for 5-10 closes in a row then opening the next day. -9 times out of 10 you never get to use your earned time off due to circumstances at the store you are assigned to. And yes, you will lose them they do not accrue. -If you are lucky enough to be assigned at a store with a strong store manager then things are different, but if not, get ready to blamed for every failure of the store, even when the labor model continues to be cut to the point that you are lucky if you have 2 people in a department and someone from corporate walks in and wants to know why the departments are not set. -Endless micro-managing. Your day is mapped out what you should be doing verses what you know you should be doing. It is check the box that that the "task" is completed when in fact there is no one to complete it, except you. Ergo that is why many just "fudge" it.
