Horrible culture. Stagnant company. I never had an 8 day week until I came to work here. - Assistant Manager Kroger Employee Review

Pros

None. Don't be fooled by the juicy contract they might offer you to get you sign up as a member of the salaried management at the store level.

Cons

No work life balance at all. No weekends off for some of us. Long working weeks that can add up to 60-80 hours a week. Insane! Upper management with unrealistic expectations, union defending worthless and disrespectful employees, non stoping customers complaints, store managers who treat you like a dog. They make you work excessive hours and then they want you to perform 150% all the time. Which is impossible. And then they get their mouth full talking about "feeding the human spirit" and "everyone friendly and caring" You only move up if you know someone and not because of what you put out.

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
