Pros

Good benefits if you have enough hours per month to qualify. The workers in the stores are generally friendly and we all become a relatively close knit group.

Cons

Was a better company to work for before Kroger took over. Hardly anyone is ever hired full time - you have to work there forever to get a full time job. More and more "programs" to implement yet no more hours to do it in.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
