Pros

Extremely cheap insurance. Paid vacation and personal days after 1 year employment.

Cons

Everything else. Kroger is a joke and a waste of time for anyone over the age of 16! I got this job while I was in college with the hopes of helping me pay for a semester or two. The pay is so freaking low, I could barely survive and was always in the red each month!! You fight for hours. They'd rather higher 30 part time cashiers than 10 full time ones. Some weeks, you'd have 32 hours (still part time) and others, you'd have 16 or less. What grown person can survive on that? In addition, the Union is a piece of crap. I've seen people unjustly fired simply because they were close to retiring. Less money to have to pay out over a lifetime, right? Under my contract, I make a $0.05 raise every 6 months. That's $0.10 a years. I started out at $7.30. After 2.5 years, I make $7.55 an hour. I don't even take home $300 a week after taxes!! No wonder most employees are on food stamps.

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
