If you are really interested in a career @ Kroger you had better pucker up. Apparently working hard, never calling in, coming in on your days off, etc. isn't good enough. On july 19 I would have worked @ Kroger for 3 years at J-928 in Bloomington, Indiana. I graduated from Indiana University in August 2007. Shortly before though I interviewed for a co-management position in Indianapolis. The interviewer liked me and the interview seemed to go well. I would call everyday to check on the status of interest and the woman didn't have the common courtesy to return my callls. I get a letter in the November 2007 saying that they had just recieved my application for employment (are you fu@#ing kidding me?!). It said that I need to be a department head first. I foolishly went along with it and waited for something to come along. Well a Kitchen Place was about to be built and I was asked to run it. Again I foolishly accepted. I was told by one co-manager that I was going to be just a lead clerk which is a far cry from department head. Then I was told by a tech manager that I was going to be back up department head to the GM/ Non Foods Manager. I was supposed get trained in certain areas (how to write a schedule, how to set up a promo aisle, etc.) but it never happened. I got paid no more money to run kitchen place. When I came to the realization that the management thing wasn't going to happen i decided to go back to school and work Kroger only part time. Here is some advice. If you want to get promoted to a management posltion at Kroger proceed with caution. There is so much red tape involved that it may not be worth your time. I learned this the hard way apparently.
simple you are an ass kisser you say yes yes yes to everything so go a little further and be extra nice to the managers your doing the hard part already which is the work so dont give up now. just transfer to a ghetto store in indianapolis if your are serious to be head stock. if not then be lucky to have a job in bloomington at least your getting asked to do stuff. sorry about the tough love but you are acting like a passive aggessor which is no good. i know you you know me im the black sheep of the family
