Kroger

Training is good, safety of the company is good When it comes to work load one shouldn’t rely on this job alone to pay the bills.

I have been at The Kroger Company since May of 1996 and currently still employed. I started out a stock clerk went to be a dairy lead. 2008 I became a Grocery manager, transferred due to the store closing. Stepped down from Grocery Manager in 2021 and just recently got back into the position in August of 2024.

I resigned after becoming a union steward,it put a target on my back because I tried to help others.

I was the front-end supervisor for Kroger, which was my first job in 2009. I was quickly advanced from cashier to Supervisor in about 2 months. I enjoyed training my team, it was a way to learn more about them as we went along. I miss the customers and my coworkers.

I worked there for a decade or so. It was the worst years of my life. The culture was and workplace was toxic. I had to fight for raises. I would not recommend it.

I worked at Kroger Market place almost 4 years in the drug dept. When orientation was going on I was so excited to work there, especially after 12yrs of fast food management. It was like what? Benefits? First month it was good. I clock out when scheduled time says. (I was elated at this). Then I had to fight for experience pay took a couple of months. Making $8 an hour until then as an adult with bills. My union rep. was fighting it. Soon then I was told to unload trucks with a power jack (never used 1) After we had to break down pallets sort into depts 6-12 each delivery. Some totes weighing 50+lbs. December 2020 I couldn't walk for 3 months. I was on a medical leave of absence and was fired. Insurance gone. I had to pay out of pocket for my surgery 4 screws and a plate I have. Tailbone slide quarter inch over. I hurt everyday and only 42. Had to appeal to unemployment I couldn't get because it was labeled terminated. Just pain and debt now. Worst company profit hungry only.

They have complete disregard to the employees scheduling needs. There is no work/life balance. The final issue was when I had to work 11 self checkout lanes alone for 4 hours. Seriously under appreciated and felt I was not valued as an employee at all

Worked there for 4 years, saw many long term employees quit. Greedy company, I would not recommend anyone to work for this compan

One thing that I found hard was work life balance. In this day in age people don't have the same work ethics anymore. You are required to be the best, yet other don't have to. Your expected to just deal with things regardless of if it's right or wrong.

Kroger is a good place to work. They have the best customers on the planet. Their employees are good to each other and support one another. It’s a pretty fun place to work.

About a month ago, the company had a employee barbecue. They were free burgers, and hotdogs for all. this is almost done for upper management to show their appreciation towards the Kroger team.

I trained in Louisville, Kentucky and was placed in Bowling Green, Kentucky but it was a new manager so I was transferred to Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I lived in Bowling Green, Kentucky so I traveled from Bowling Green Kentucky to Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I learned how Human Resources works and managed the store.

I worked during the 1st part of the pandemic, between people and no hours i left. Overall the deli was the best department i worked in

None. I don't have a story about my current employment. When i first started working there the managers cared about there employees and what they meant to there com0any. But, however. they do not at the moment , we need better managers but the employees are nice to work with

Kroger use to be a great company to work for. They have really gone down the last few years. It seems like they are more about the money then the people anymore. The manager that is currently at the store I am at is constantly threatening, our jobs and livelihood. This is not an environment that I like working in anymore.

I really enjoyed working for Kroger’s . I had the best co-workers. I learned so much working for Kroger.

Kroger been a great place for me!?the challenges,the opportunities,friendly employees and customer's

I loved my job at Kroger and if I had it my way id still be with the company however life happened and I had to move unexpectedly and that's how the egg cracked

Only reason I left was because of arthritic knees. Hard to stand for so many hours at my age, with arthritis. I enjoyed the people, but most of them are already gone. It's under new management, so not sure what the working environment is any more. I still shop there though.

I was working two jobs at the time I worked for Krogers and management was very willing to support me in any way they could.

I worked as a Operations Supervisor at the Kroger DC in Keller TX for 2 and a half years. When I first started there it was a good place to work. The work was challenging, but we worked as a team to get the job done. This all fell apart when Kroger took over the management from penske. Kroger uper management shows little to no considration to their employees health and well-being. The last straw for me was when they fired a Supervisor who got hit by a forklift while doing a task he was mandated to do by uper management. I worked hard for Kroger, but I resigned because I see they don't care about their employees.

I worked there for 10 years. I worked days, nights, and weekends. I worked just about every job in that plant, you would think they would consider me an asset since I was one of the ones who helped train new management how to do what we do. They fired me a week before Christmas with no last chance, knowing I have a family. Real cut throat operation they have going on.

I started working for Kroger while background screening was pending but because I recently relocated to a totally different state, it took a month to complete it and ultimately my screening was inconclusively "flagged" so my employment was temporary.

It is almost the same as a working as a food runner at a food of employment I learned a lot of news skills I take with me

Zero work life balance if you are a manager at Kroger's and if they feel like things aren't getting done they will put you on as many days as they want to you can go weeks without a day off. Lucky if you get to take any vacation unless your are a bigshot manager .Managers can take as much time as they want and get huge bonus well everybody slaves away for the lazy managers . Also the pay is horrible for such a huge company even stockers they start them out at $10.00 and can't figure out why they cant get any help or good help really sad.

You can advance, but it is really hard to get to a good pay grade. Lots of hours and very hard work in the grocery department.

Keep seeing managers in training that are lacking fundamental skill, and ones that have these skills are being kept out of management.

It was my firsr job. I started as a bagger then within a month i was a cashier. Then about a month after that i worked self check out

I had missed some some days due to pulling a muscle in my shoulder from lifting on heavy boxes and they were not concerned if i was ok or not they was rushing me to get back then i came down with Covid and I guess they thought i wasn't telling the truth they kept blowing my phone up when i was trying to heal, no one wants to work sick and not feeling well spreading germs..... my point is they dont care about your health

I got this job back in 2017 as a courtesy clerk. The most enjoyable thing about the job were the people I worked with.

Performance (speed) measures are overrated and posted in public areas of the store. Turn over is a big problem.

I hate always my Real Life however I'd accepts my title job as position else doesn't matter my life or Money even Fame.

I was treated like pure garbage, always short staffed. Would work multiple positions and make $10 an hour. The Union is useless. Racist store managers. Drama filled bs -Monroe mi 850 s Monroe st

I really enjoy working for Kroger. The managers are wonderful, caring and helpful. With hard work and good work ethic you can go very far with in the company.

Always short-handed always had to do 10 times you're working other people's work while other people got to stand around. Always seen favoritism even with new people that got to stand around. How to do three different jobs for the payment of one. We get full time hours and then they would care of my house was going into foreclosure because it didn't have enough hours to work. Gave him 4 years of my life did not get full time but then sometimes get full time hours it was crazy. Customers are always complaining cuz we're always short staffed I was expected us to do our work and somebody else's work that was lazy. Want to make less money in fuel when you're out there in the cold and dealing with trash heavy trash that leaks all over the place and customers that don't know how to pump gas. The offer full-time work but never give anybody full-time work.

I never work for this company before I was a cashier main bank casino Cna food Beverege cook for the buffet

I was a front end manager for Kroger for 13 yrs and loved it. I only left because of a family matter. Everyone knows everyone and the work is not hard if you follow process.

Krogers is a great place to work! They have many different departments and a great management staff! The sky is the limit there! There are so many amazing people that are willing to help you if you need it!

Managers don’t care. Pay is weak. Expect to work 3 jobs for the pay of one. Got my private info stolen from krogers online system that keeps our files. Needless to say. Unless this is your first job you do not want to get close to this place.

I was hired as a pharmacy technician at Kroger. It was tempting to take the position as the pay was nice. I have five years experience as a pharmacy tech and they pay $0.75/year (with a five-year max) experience on top of the base pay so that gave me a starting pay at $3.75 more than the original starting pay. But I read the reviews about working for the company and it did not seem right for me and my family at the time as many of the reviews stated that employees are not valued for their work. That and, although the company site states that the schedule would be flexible, the reviews said otherwise.

Worked as a pickup associate for a good bit and learned a lot about customer service and professionalism, great company, great people and great management.

This company is good to work for. They are pretty reasonable on the hours that are scheduled. They are understanding for the most part when needing to call off.

My manager told me a 30 year old man can do a better job than a 50 year old woman. So I got stuck in the deli and the 30 year old man lasted about a month in my job!

When I came to Krogers they were only hiring pt and I spoke to the store manager at the time and expressed I needed full time but he told me to prove it , I showed my versatility and ability to help in whatever dept I was needed in. I became full time and worked another job pt.

The overnight crew was fabulous, very welcoming, and made the work environment great. The only complaint I have is the pay. They want you to bust your butt for $11 and it is not worth all the amount of work and training you need to go through. They need to be paying at least $20/hr for the amount of labor and quickness they expect from the employees.

I worked in Kroger Clicklist for a year. A few things were evident when I left: the entire place was being run by people who were incompetent and it is a surprise the company has stayed afloat all these years. The management never knew what was going on and they had no clue on how to fix situations. They were poorly trained from everything that I could see. The management and leadership in general had a very high turnover rate and when manager was so bad that they had to take action they would just move them to another store. Coorporate had little to no clue what was happening in the store, but would set rules for the staff (ex. Clicklist loaders could only take drinks in the breakroom despite being in an unairconditioned room or loading cars in 100* heat for 7.5 hours) and the management would not fight for the employees best interest. The only way that things would go in the employees favor is if we got the union involved.

Moved to Colorado back in 2012-2013. Worked for Kroger/Kingsooper, very nice place to work. I got to know the people, became like family.

I have worked for Kroger for 4 years and I have enjoyed my job. My health is not doing well. The guy’s have been helping me.

Worked here for 3-4 years, new management constantly, but somehow never got any better. Expected you to be able to work every department all the time and up to 70 hours a week.

It was a good work environment. Good people. Great benefits. Recognized for job well done. Easy work but fast paced. Always something to do. Cross trained.
