Pros
I've found no matter Kroger I work at that my coworkers are amazing and kind. Usually is flexible with my schedule and they offer tuition reimbursement.
Cons
I work in the Starbucks and they throw away any and all outdated food, they do not donate it. The thing is you can and will be fired for taking any of it home and you only get a 10% employee discount so in terms of store based benefits they aren't very good. Additionally I've worked at 2 different Kroger's now and I have to say that the management at both has been lacking. They are inattentive, inefficient, and insensitive. They usually don't schedule correctly or ignore any requests you try to make about your schedule even if you make them in advance. I usually have to get my reschedule for a week redone about once a month, oftentimes they leave it to me though to get someone to cover my shifts even if the reason my schedule is wrong is them. They refuse to work with you or even do basic parts of their job. It took me 4 week just to be transferred because my managers refused to email another store. It's incredibly frustrating to be on the opposite end constantly calling opposite stores and different stores to resolve an issue only to find out that the issue is your managers.
