So here I am one of your local Secretary, Associate Manager, HR what ever you guys like to call us come on let all that anger out vent. I will make sure that the right people will see your post with hopes of getting something done to change what has made our employees so disgruntle.
we can't stack our empty pallets higher than 12 tall, (of course I always go higher!) but they can send us pallets that wont even fit off the truck!!! THey can't stack worth a ****! Honestly who thinks it's a good idea to stack a pallet of dogfood on top of potato chips? Anyway they do some stupid stuff...
If it wasn't for some of the people I work with, I probably would have been searching for a new job elsewhere by now. I generally like my job because most of my coworkers are likeable. With that said, after nearly 2 1/2 years of service, I've started to become aware that I don't like it as much as I used to....

I wanted to know if there are any REAL benefits for part time employees at Kroger. I know that getting full time status is virtually impossible as you have to average 38 hours per week for 16 weeks except for July and August. So how much vacation time do part timers get, how much is the medical insurance...
at your store does "elms" allocate a fair amount of hours per department? I say this because I know that even though there is a "formula" it all has to do with which department heads are the pets. Our deli has more people than any other department (except maybe front end). Ther...
In the Detroit area, Kroger and Meijer are covered by the same union but with much different contracts. Would it be possible to work at both places or would the union have something to say about that ? Would there be any problems other than paying twice as much in dues to the same union ? Would one of the...
1. The anti-theft system that goes off about 345,974 times a day. The meat we have sets off the system all the time and I'm starting to hear it in my sleep. The thing is, nobody higher up tries to fix it. I can't even imagine how much has been stolen from our store. We just wave people through and don't even ch...

I was Hired at krogers and worked for about two days, on the second day I decided to quit because the two front end managers made a big deal about me wearing jeans when the employee hand book said I could wear them! the manager huffed and puffed on the phone telling me that I was on 90 day watch or someth...
I am just going to rant for a sec . . . Blow off some steam. I love talking directly to executive managment. They hate it! They don't like it when somebody at a low level, such as myself, speak directly to them. It bruises their ego, you can tell. They think to themselves, "Who is this peasant, and how d...
I am a sacker. People view sackers as the scum of the Earth. We aren't important to managers, customers, or other employees (only in rare cases for other employees). I have been almost run over in the parking lot of my Kroger because some people don't even give a second thought about who might be behind t...
What is the criterion that Kroger uses for deciding who you can work for while you work for them? I contacted the union and they told me that there is no federal law that says you cannot work for whoever you choose - it is just Kroger law. Are all grocery chains considered competition? can you work for groc...
i don't understand why management seems clueless on what really goes on in the store. I can't understand also why they say they want everything Krogers way. But ignore the problems at hand that is affecting customers because an employee mentioned it, like we are stupid. Well wakeup people.........
