Pros

It's twice a year bonus check are a perk and the ten percent discount on their brand is nice. Sometimes management is flexible with hours.

Cons

Once Kroger bought this company our staff levels went down. Resulting in the few doing the job of many. Customers get angry over the lack of people to help them. Benefits package is outrageously expensive. Management team is unprofessional, often critiquing associates for actions and infractions that they themselves do. Management team won't hold themselves accountable for letting a molehill turn into a mountain. Instead they pass the blame to their leads or associates. Then when the situation has turned into a catastrophe they place disciplinary actions on the associates for the problematic issues management knew about , and were told many many times about. Company hates to pay for new equipment. They just repair the same thing over and over ; rather than invest in a newer, eco friendly, and fully functioning model. They won't let you transfer to another department unless you basically beg for years. Crying all the while. If you get placed as a Deli worker you are never transferring out of that department. Forget about transferring to another store even if you move and the store you work is too far a drive. They would rather you quit then transfer you. Oh, and they tell you they want to help you succeed and train you for promotion. Then they go out of their way to avoid training you or just outright sabotage you. They always hire an outside manager who has no real experience in the department first so they don't lose a you "good" worker.

Pros

Decent people, make connections, pay, and hours are just okay.

Cons

Management sucks. If you fall victim to bullying, nobody cares/does anything. Working there from 16 to now (barely anymore), it was hard to be happy at all about going in when working with a specific manager who constantly nitpicked and talked behind your back.
