Just out of curiosity, how much do grocery department managers make? I know it varies on region and contract, but that doesn't matter to me. Thanks in advance..

I'm waiting for my drug test to come back. I was told I would be receiving a phone call Saturday if I pass ( which I will ). I'm wondering how long it'll be before orientation.

I'm new at Kroger and I currently work in the Deli, I like the job but I think I would rather be a cashier. Who do I go to talk to about being moved to another department? Thank you for your help!

Do all corporate offices outside of the Mid-South area expect 70+ hours out of each store manager every week? First we are told we have to work one Sunday a month, now you basically have to work every Sunday to meet their expectations, next it was close on the Tuesday before Senior Day - which means you h...

There comes a time when one has to always wonder if what they are doing is realistic in what the company, they work for, is asking them to do. Have been with Kroger for well over 20 years and all in the meat department. Have seen a lot of things change and almost every one for the best key retailing and the dif...

I went to get my schedule one week and noticed that my hours were cut. I also noticed I had an extra day off. I didn't request it nor did I change my availability. I asked if this could be fixed and was told there was no way. When I asked why I was told that sales were down because business was slow. I found out...

I just got locked into full time status because I completed 12 weeks of working 40 hours. When I was hired the HR manager said that my pay rate will increase to $12.80 once I have completed those 12 weeks of 40 hours. I was told that I will qualify for top pay based on my 5 years of previous deli experience. B...

I'm a student from Ohio just coming back from LOA. I never got a raise since I worked for a full year in high school, and I have worked at Kroger for over 7 years. They claim they only give raises to 'full time' people. Do you guys think this is Bull or no?

Anyone else have pics or stories of the crap pallets the warehouse likes to send to stores? This is the one they sent today, but I've seen way worse than this. At least this one isn't leaning halfway to the floor.

I'd be interested in hearing from Kroger employees in other divisions as to what kind of employee discounts they have. Here in the Delta Division its 5% weekly. Are these discounts a contract negotiated item, or are they more or less at the discretion of the individual Division execs? Thanks f...

So anyway, I was wondering, when someone voluntarily switches departments, they go on the bottom of the list senority wise for the new department they chose to go to, no matter how long they've been with the company, right? That's normally what happens at my store anyway unless they're forced to swit...

Does anyone know what all is taught at the cake decorating class and how long it is? I most likely will be going to one next month but I don't know what's going on with it yet.

At my store, they have started cross-training everybody to run a register besides meat & deli employees. The worst part is that they're calling up department heads to check. My problem with this is that they will call up the department heads frequently and distract them from writing orders, or o...
