Pros
Kroger is a great place to work, especially for a first job. They hire at just 14 years old. They are very flexible with their scheduling and the schedule is posted online and in store two weeks ahead. You can request days off as long as they are submitted three weeks prior to the date needed off. The associates and customers have great bonding experiences and we laugh often. We make sure to work hard and have fun at the same time. Associates all end up becoming best friends no matter the age (14 or 79). You get one 15 minute break (paid) if you work a 4 hour shift. You get two 15 minute breaks (paid) if you work a 6 hour shift. And you get two 15 minute breaks (paid) and a 30 minute lunch (unpaid) if you work 7.5 hours or more.
Cons
There is occasionally issues with too many or too little hours than what you intend. Kroger management doesn't have very much time to spend discussing workplace issues personally with their associates.
