Pros

Benefits, Bonuses, Insurance, Customers and Relationships built.

Cons

Stressful long hours and demanding workload. I've ran numerous stores for this company and the demands, stress, long work days and non existent family time are reasons I must warn young, bright, career minded individuals to think twice before committing your life to Kroger. What they promise you on work life balance versus real life reality are entirely different. Once at the co-manager level and above, 6 and 7 day work weeks are the norm and your hours will be long and you will very seldom ever enjoy a traditional holiday with any of your family members again.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
