I'm a regular poster here but choose to post anon because of I guess I'm a bit paranoid. Anyway if you're at my store you'll know who I am if you know me personally. I started as a bagger last year. A certain co-manager took immediate interest in me. He got me a cashier quicker than people hired before me....
I just found this forum & I think it's awesome. Anyhow I've worked in the meat department since high school has ended & I have a blast back there! I'm just a clerk but it's not bad at all. I see posts on here saying it's not the greatest department, which may be true but personally I love it! it's an e...
Dang we had our wrapper break last week, the hot plate that "melts" the plastic wasn't working, the hot bar that cuts the wrapping still worked so we had to seal the wrapping with the bar, it's a very tiny thing and is a pain in the neck to do. I even warned my manager before it broke that it seemed...
Is the schedule that's posted on eSchedule always as accurate at the schedule posted in store? I checked the schedule posted in the breakroom on Thursday and it said that I work 1:30-10 tomorrow, but then I checked eSchedule tonight and that says I work 4:45-10 tomorrow. The rest of my schedule on eSch...
I have been invited to interview for a position as a Pharmacy Tech. What are some of the pros and cons of working for a Kroger Pharmacy. What are some the benefits and the starting pay rate?
"I was told to do this, I was told to do that, this manager doesn't like me"... Etc, etc. Your career is what you make of it. If you complain and question everything that your superiors tell you to do then you will get nowhere in the real world. I don't care if what my boss tells me to do is retard...
So we recently had to take the associate OSAT survey. Last year my store got dead last in our zone. So when our managers their butt chewing over this, they told the zone manager we didn't understand the definitions. Such as we didn't understand what was mean by direct supervisor, management team, e...
Hi all- I have been out of the work force for about 20 years raising my kids. I am thinking of going to work at Kroger for some extra spending money. I can only work days - preferrably early mornings beginning at 7:15ish after my son leaves for school. I cannot work nights or weekends because he plays at a hi...
So I stumbled across this website, and frankly, I'm baffled. I work for Kroger's, and I love it. I used to work at McDonald's, it was hell. You're complaining because you start out at entry level wages and then, oh no, you have to work there for 5 years or so to top out? How horrible! Except not really. At Mc...
The company was great and in demand back in 1890 to 1995. Now it is saturated, and ran by money hungry douche bags. if you get hired, you will not make much to live on until you have been there over 5 years. There is no great benefits anymore, and as time progresses it will get worse. No one wants to work at a...
I was doing the REQUIRED store sweeps when assigned when the FE supervisor called ME, NOT the other two courtesies on duty to put away 2 OVERFLOWING carts. Many were perishables. So I called them on it. Their response "is there a problem? Shall we take it to management?" We did, and I was sent...
I went in today and gave the assistant FES my two weeks' notice. Classes are about to start so I'd rather be studying than saying the same lines over and over. It's been quite a year with Kroger, and there's been plenty of great and awesome people I'd love to work with, as well as idiots and asses who I'd r...
Im new to kroger, but have worked hard and impressed quite a few people. I believe I'm being considered to become a checker, but I honestly have no clue who the checkers are in the store or what they do. Can someone tell me what checkers do, and what the pay usually is. I assume it's more than a bagger.
Anyone with the health insurance know what this means? The last two pay periods, they have been deducting $5.60, listed as "HEALTH COPAY" in addition to the $10.00 for family coverage and the $12.75 union dues. I can't find any other threads on this and have no idea why the additional $5.60...
I had to call out last night on my way to the ER, the night time manager was not a manager in produce and there wasn't even anybody in produce at the time, I told them what my name was, when I come in and who to call to cover my shift. all he did was leave a note that I called out... I called the assistant manager th...
I was recently hired for overnight stocking. I filled out a bunch of paperwork after the drug test came back with the front end manager, and she enrolled me into a new hire orientation class. I never knew when it was though. I've already done 2 days of computer training, some training with the grocer...
The current kroger employee shirt is black, due to some refresh program? do we need to place the name tag under the logo? or on the opposite side? where the name tag would appear to be placed on the left side of the shirt that people would see? thank you [img]http://s30.postimg.org/oqvxt9n1t/kmkm.pn...
