Just got hired last week and have had a couple web-inars with Cinci; they say with my Bachelor's degree I should be a cinch for the mgmt training program in no time. I'm looking eagerly forward to this, as I've never worked in retail before, have no intention of actually 'working' in it, and am very happy...

Main complaints are about work/life balance (most folks say there is none), tired of working long hours/nights/weekends/holidays. One person wrote that his wife told him "it's our marriage or Kroger" and he "wisely chose" his marriage. It's an eye=opener for sure!

so get this: this new gal sucks even worse than the one we had before, I wouldn't have believed that possible. She micro-manages every last little detail, is constantly doing her store walks with dept. leads, uses the "white glove" approach to everything she sees. Nothing is quite good enough to plea...

I was hired on as a bagger and today was my first day. I was told we would only be working the lot 15 minutes an hour, which was fine by me. But today i got sent out there for 3 and a half hours. There was no strap for me to use, so i could only pull in 5 carts at a time. Now, several years ago I had injured myself and...

The manager comes over at 10, when we had nonstop customers for an hour, and asks us why Grab and Go isn't done. So we told him there were too many customers and he just ignored it and kept asking why it wasn't done. Maybe it's because you have two employees working, and if there's a line of customers you wan...
