Pros

If you're getting your first job, it might be a good place to start. . . if only to get used to crummy supervisors, and upper management.

Cons

When I first worked at Kroger I was given absolutely no proper training on how to use the cash register. And I never really got good at it until several months later. Getting help even from the floor supervisors was difficult, sometimes even a waste of time, and pushing a random sequence of key strokes was probably more helpful.

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.
