Pros

- You’re going to get hours. Even if you suck, you’re going to get hours because every Kroger store is understaffed. - It’s relatively easy to transfer stores, and since Kroger is everywhere across the Midwest, you’re probably okay if you want to move. - Cheap insurance for yourself (no spousal coverage)

Cons

- Frequent use of the phrase “Everyone’s replaceable.” - Hires anyone and everyone and then wonders why it gets stuck with bad employees. - Has no concept of work-life balance; nothing is more important than the job, ever. - Union is useless. - Schedule changes at the drop of a hat. - Definitely not a merit-based promotional system; entirely how much rear end you kiss and when.

10% discount on all kroger branded items $17.25 per hour is one of the better wages in the area when compared to competitor stores

Cons

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
