Pros

Nationwide chain (Kroger Co) Easily transfer to other parts of the country. Tution reimbursement. Diversity of people and culture that work here. Diversity of jobs avaliable.

Cons

Discord in equality of pay. Compensation does not keep up with inflation. Good old boy culture, another words if you are not part of the club then you dont get the promotion. Many redundant process, too much fat at the top. Actually listing to the stores about what the customer wants. To much talk at not enough action. Paying attention to the bottom line and not the people that make the money.

Pros

I would say the most important Pros is benefits for all employees and employee's discount.

Cons

Even though it says "flexible hours", it is not really flexible. The pay is not fair. Cashiers in non-food departments get less pay than cashiers in front-end doing the same job. The management is different by the store as well as the work environment and culture.
