Pros

You are taking care of plants

Cons

While they’re expanding internal operations and handing out bonuses and perks to office staff, the people out in the field—who are doing the physical work every day—are getting nothing. There’s a real imbalance in how appreciation and compensation are being distributed. The field teams are the backbone of this operation, yet they’re often overlooked when it comes to raises, recognition, or advancement. It’s frustrating and disheartening for the people who are keeping things running on the ground.

Pros

The people at Kroger and the flowers

Cons

My experience was that communication and management were inconsistent. Expectations about schedules, breaks, and daily responsibilities were not always clearly explained, which made it difficult to know what was expected. Work assignments and finish times often changed depending on deliveries, making it challenging to plan outside of work. Employees are expected to work independently across store locations, but support from management can be limited when questions or issues arise. Timekeeping should also be monitored carefully, as it is important to verify that hours worked match payroll records. Overall, I found the work environment stressful due to inconsistent communication, unclear expectations, and a lack of constructive support from supervisors.
