Pros

Good people and flexible work schedules

Cons

Lack of staff and hours allocated to departments leave employees over worked and burned out. Too many corporate expectations that disregard the employees and what they can actually accomplish given they are often missing the resources (hours, people, tools) to be able to do their jobs as expected. The bad managers go unchecked and their disrespectful behavior towards their employees is tolerated time and time again. Kroger completely out of touch with the pulse of the people working in the stores. It's too bad because there are a lot of really great people working there that try to make it better but just aren't set up for success. Profits over people.

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
