Pros

Not too much to put here any longer. USED to be a fantastic job. The company will tell you that they "are listening." But nothing has changed for the positive over the last two years. They have associates fill out a yearly survey, which gives us a chance to vent about the company, yet it is evident nobody hears it.

Cons

Our store in particular has gone spiraling down so quickly. We got a new store manager about a year and a half ago who is very strict and the worst manager I've ever seen. I've gone through five store managers over the years. None have been as autocratic as this one. And the company: Kroger cares about itself. It doesn't care about who does the actual work. The turnover rate at my store was around 30%. Now it's at 84%. Managers expect more and more and more. But they don't give us people to help. All they do is criticize. After 8 years, I'm job hunting.
