  • Best thing

    huge opportunity for growth, a lot of people at corporate started at a store level, however many did not, and corporate hires people fresh out of college with a bachelor’s degree a lot of the time.

    Worst thing

    toxic work environment, too much work not enough hours to get adequate staffing to ensure everything is completed, poor hr, poor new hire quality, made to feel like you genuinely are unable to call in even if you absolutely need to, workplace bullying, customer abuse and lack of management support when needed.

    Kroger Bakery Team Leader, February 2025

  • Best thing

    If you manage to find a pharmacy that isn't on fire and has a pharmacist who isn't completely burned out and taking thier frustration out on staff, it is the best of a bad situation. Other pharmacies are significantly worse.

    Worst thing

    The office has no idea what it takes to run a pharmacy And will mandate that you have to do things that make absolutely no sense or is known to create more problems. Because of this, almost every single pharmacy in the chain. Is having difficulties staying above water. They cant do what they need to do to help their patients.

  • Best thing

    Getting paid.

    Worst thing

    The people I serve to are very exhausting and since I’m usually there as a cashier, I always have to mask my feelings even though I genuinely hate talking to people and being around them.

  • Best thing

    I’ve met some cool people

    Worst thing

    All they care about is numbers. From my experience they don’t necessarily care about your health or you. They say they do but they don’t

    2.1

    Kroger Grocery, December 2024

  • Best thing

    Nothing. I hate working there.

    Worst thing

    A lot. The management sucks and clearly don’t know what they’re doing, they don’t care about their staff, their break system is appalling, and the way they run things is so dysfunctional that I’m surprised they’re even still open. I’ve seen two people quit within the span of a month and I don’t blame them because we’re all made to do things that aren’t part of our job descriptions and we aren’t properly compensated for it.

    Kroger Lead Barista, December 2024

  • Best thing

    The people that work there

    Worst thing

    Horrible management. Corporate does not care about their customers or staff. Never use the online pickup shopping service. They will lock your money in after you place an order that they know gull well they won’t be able to complete that night, but they will let you place your order regardless.

    1.7

    Kroger Employee, December 2024

  • Best thing

    For the most part all of us get along really good on the front end and we have really good front end supervisors.

    Worst thing

    We are an extremely busy store. Our town is growing every year and we also do the towns around us. We have customers that come 2 hours away to shop with us. We never have enough cashiers and we definitely never have enough baggers. It's very frustrating when you have these humongous orders and you're having to bag half of it by yourself if not all of it. It really does slow us down. We really need more than two cashiers during the day

  • Best thing

    You get vacation after a year (24 hours )

    Worst thing

    You will not get your break at the correct time. The customer service desk is in charge of baggers and cashiers; they don't care about baggers unless you are under 18. They care even LESS

    Worst thing

    Management & some coworkers. No communication from management. Management allowing things that should be reprimanded for but given preferential treatment instead. I could go on. I used to love my job. Not anymore.
