The Kroger Company Employer Reviews

i was not traind properly and i got fired for poor performance i loved my co workers

Good place to work, enjoyed it. Great benefits and working culture. Great training programs. Long hours. Must be able to assimilate to a certain perception of how people see you. If unable to do this, look for another career. Great company overall, just remember, within the company there are people and politics.

Working at Kroger was very much an enjoyable experience. Upper management and the "higher ups" of the company genuinely seemed to care about the well being and happiness of their employees, while still ensuring excellent customer service. The hardest part of the job was the irregular hours, but that was expected as a part time job from me, so it didn't – more... bother me too much. The most enjoyable part was definitely my coworkers and activities put together by the company. – less

Kroger was a very enjoyable place to work. I regret having to leave, but I was having complications with my pregnancy and was ordered by my doctor to stay off my feet. I got to broaden my experience in the bakery environment, which I really enjoyed. My co-workers were amazing and very helpful. There was not anything hard about this job. Everybody was – more... really relaxed and not to uptight. – less

A lot of work to accomplish in a short amount of time, usuallly doing eveything by yourself, there is almost no teamwork at Kroger.

Greet customers and handle cash, checks and credit cards transactions. I learned how to build display, place orders and print report from a handheld scanner. My co-workers was very nice to work with. The hardest part of the job working every evening & holidays. The most enjoyable part of the job meeting new people.

Helping customers. Bagging groceries.

I learned to help people.

Hardest part of my job was leaving.

Most enjoyable part was helping people.

In all the time I spent there was enjoyable. The ability to meet new people and to produce an enjoyable work environment, with hardly a dull moment. Management did their best to provide a safe and knowledgeable working environment. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the customers who could not be pleased, no matter what you did to make their – more... experience a pleasant one. – less

ring up items bag them and take payment for grocery fun safe environment.

If you're a cashier, and the day is slow, you have nothing to do. They don't always give you the time you ask off for and they constantly expect you to come in on your off days. Your coworkers are friendly and fun and meeting new people is always interesting. You have some different people that come through your line.

Kroger is a good company but i can't advance to a higher position. I get along with my co-workers. Management can be okay sometimes. The hardest part of my job there is keeping up with the demand of product.

Panera Bread was a fun place to work at, but the hours weren't.

Management in most cases willing to work with school schedules.

I learned different things that you just don't learn in school and my passion for cooking grew by watching and learning from my executive and sous chef.

I love meeting new people and the avancement in the program is amazing

Good place to work. Usually workers are friendly. It's just a typical cashier job pretty much though. Get good people, bad people, weird people, etc. It's everything you'd expect.
Most managers are pretty friendly. Have the occasional terrible management with a bad attitude.
You're timed as a cashier. Nothing really a big deal about that except that – more... if you're slow they'll take you off due to the whole "Faster checkout" that Kroger is promoting.
A lot of times you'll work 6 hours and 45 minutes so you're only allowed a 15 minute break (at least this is how it's like at my location). If you work 7 hours you get a 30 minute break. 8 hours is the max, you can't do overtime. 30 minute break at 8 hours too.
Cashiers start at minimum wage ($7.25 here in Texas) with a $.10 raise every 6 months. The max you can make as a cashier is $12.15/h I'm told by some that have been here for 20+ years.

(Extra information)
Supervisors are pretty much the exact same. Never hired as a supervisor. Only promoted from being a cashier. Promotion is a $.10 raise to do the same job but work customer service and "watch the floor". Meaning, not too many people can be in one line at a time otherwise you get a "dip" due to Que Vision saying that there was too many people waiting in line for too long. Nothing you can really control if people won't move to another line when you tell them that you can check them out and they refuse to because they don't want to move. Then supervisors get in trouble. Due to Que Vision people from other departments have to be cross-trained to work a cash register. Example: People in grocery/dairy will have to come up to the registers when called, making it difficult to complete their job.
If you fail Que Vision and get too many dips or a bad percentage, district will come out to the store and find out the issue. – less

Kroger was an alright company to work for. I had a few issues with management when it came to raises and such. Management seemed to be unprepared and all over the place quite often. My coworkers were great and for the most part the customers were as well. The hardest part of working for Kroger was the fact that advancement seemed non existent.

Kroger is a good company to work for. They offer good benefits and the environments is ideal if you like grocery environments.
