The Kroger Company Employer Reviews

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.

The krogers i work at is pretty laid back an there are alot of nice people there .hmanagment is pretty nice an they treat the customers an employees right . My employees are probaly the best employees ive work with so far evereyone is nice an if you need help they will help you.i think the only hardest part of my job is just deling with them angry customers – more... ,i just make sure i listen to them an if need be i just get my manager an have to help. – less

Enlightening experience in team work and communication.
Very respected tutelage.

Kroger introduced me to the financial disciplines within the areas of personal and institutional arenas. My experience with working with others was positive and thus began my interest in communication and helping others. .

Has some good benefits and higher postions open. Dont like how its is so diffcult to get full time contract there. Doesn't encourage new people to want to apply

Typical day
Bagging groceries
Pushing carts in the parking lot
Stocking shelves for random items
Cleaning bathrooms
Sweeping floors

Management was responsible for the most part
Co-workers were friendly employees
I enjoyed the entire job

I liked helping customers, I learned about food safety and different produce.

Great place to work. The mangers are very nice and will work with you over any schedule difficulties.

This was the first job that I had and enjoyed it. My desire to work with customers started here. Though I was still in high school when I first started here, it was a great expereince for me to learn how to work with customers and with others.

A typical day includes stocking product to the shelves while maintaining inventory counts. Another portion includes creating inventory reports for any out of stock products. Certain weeks include setting up promotional and seasonal displays. My co-workers are all dedicated into getting the work done and that everyone is doing their part.

My manager had anger issues and would back you into a corner and scream at you in front of everybody. I moved up pretty quickly but never got a raise. I bated working there. I was sexually harrassed but management did nothing. I ended up quitting after 2years.

People treat you like poo and it's nearly impossible to move up.

I stock groceries to the shelf when they are low and help customers find items they are having trouble locating.
