Business outlook
Pros
Kroger (or most stores, at least) do an awesome job of hiring great people. I started working with Kroger when I was 16 and stuck with it through college and beyond. It can be such a family-like atmosphere that keeps you invested.
Cons
Management, whether at a store, district, or division level, is often misaligned. As an assistant store manager, you're expected to complete your role while also knowing (and often doing) every other job in the store. Add that in to them often over using top talent for other roles and special projects across the district, poor work-life balance, and low compensation makes it difficult to maintain a positive view of the company and your job.
