Kroger is horrible still ten years later I had worked as frontend utility clerk and they expect tht position to do everything when they have a new job to add guess what matinance gets it excuse my spelling I also remember one time I went into work and a few hours into my shift I started to feel sick ended up throwing up in the bathroom told my boss about it and was told to stick it out bc they didn't have anyone tht could come in Im in my mid 20s and and pretty much all my coworkers in my department are all old farts and one guy on disability who was lazy and barely did his job so no one could /would come in I tried to stick it out but couldnt I was just to sick so I told my boss I cant I have to go and then get told that Im gonna get an absence for it an absense for what being sick its not my fault tht I was sick could barely walk around the store which was a main part of my job so I said **** it and left barely made the walk home and threw up as soon as I walked through the door turns out I had food poisoning but yet but lucky for one Guy tht didnt last long in my department he got sick was able to go home without getting an absense bc I covered it and Thts the only reason he didnt get one For that reason sure he would of if I hadnt covered also most of the workers are idiots and there  be like a few drops of milk on the floor or something and I get called all the way to one end  of the store stoping what I needed to get done which is a **** load of stuff bc someone cant take a paper towel and wipe it I get its my job but come on its a few drops not a whole gallon and between my duties spills sweeps bathroom etc and every other week getting something added to the list it was just impossible and stressful too much **** to do in such little time and then to get bitched at  when I had enough of being a front end utility clerk I asked to get transferred to stocking bc the holiday season was coming up and figured what perfect timing they will need more stockers was told that yes we can do that we are gonna need stockers and figured they would start trying to hire someone to replace me at tht position so I could transfer  to the one I wanted but no they didnt do jack **** about it hell The first time I asked before the last one I talked to a hr manager that said i Needed to do this and tht to become a stocker and come to find out months later tht he just went up to another employee and started making the moves right away even though I asked him and this other worker that didnt even ask I had enough so I quit hell I was one of there best matinance  workers they still havent replaced me four months later so best decision of my life and a side note I wish I knew the union was optional I was pretty much lead on tht I had to so those *******s got a lot of my money from my paychecks it sucks but I think If I quit my job and the union they legaly should have to give me my money they stole but whatever just bull**** and I hope Amazon new grocery thing and Walmart put them out of buissne bc these retards are ****in god awful employers 

I agree with many of the statements its not about the customer or the employees its about $$$$$$$$

you are so right , got new president about a month ago ,it has got to where one person {not robot} does 2 to 3 jobs  which now the store and the workers suffer bad .the morale is waaayyy down .workers are getting worn out ,sick , etc. But what do you do . call union[ lmao ] Tried that . I to have been with company 12 years , but it don't mean a thing .

I also been with  Krogers  around 12 years. The first years where good But then they took away holiday pay, like Easter, Halloween,etc. Unless its changed you work a 9 hour day , an hour is for lunch and two 15 minute breaks . That was in tenn . Texas krogers   does not do that .You get 30 minutes for the whole day, that sucks because we have to eat at the store or don't eat until you clock out . They have cut back on hours ,people ,repairs ,etc . We the people are treated like computers . Well I could go on and on  but what it boils down to is KROGERS SUCKS .

I've been employed about 7 months and the micro management and inconsistency between managers is my biggest complaint.  I worked 30 years with the federal government and I'm not use to the micro management concept of the inconsistency.  I doubt I'll be with Kroger much longer.

I was in management at Kroger. They love people like you who believe the tripe they sell you. It means they can continue to offer a job with minimal pay and benefits, dress it up and call it something it isn't, so that they can make a bigger bonus. Congrats on the low standards you set for yourself. I guess that makes them easier to meet, huh?

You dont sound like a real working-class person. If you are, youre a boot licker, and the bourgeoisie loves idiots like you. Blaming the poor when the entire system is stacked against us workers is disgusting. You are not better than the restaurant of us just because you suck up to the corporate power structure. Get some self worth and stop sniveling for scraps.

You better check that match on 7%. They just upped it from 100% on3% to 5%.

 

Shut up

I did a 40 year stint chasing a pension I now am receiving.

 

Medical Benefits are so outrageous in cost I have to work a new 40 hr. job and pay for medical.

Biggest regret of my life was working there.

After 40 years you would think the ****TY union would have guaranteed a retirement medical program.

The UNION is to worried about themselves and their UNEARNED pay to take care of the employees.

You all have to remember though, The UNION does not pay for ****!

Any and ALL benefits and pension money is paid for by Kroger. 

Just sayin.

I do work at a Kroger.  I've been there for five years.  I work in the bakery.  I've been late to work twice in 5 years, and missed a day because I went to the E.R. of a local hospital. 

I clock in and out for my breaks and lunch.  I work 40 hours a week, and I make a great wage for a mere high school graduate.  What don't I do?  I don't fuss and moan about every little thing (and there are lots of little things I could fuss and moan about if I wanted to do so).  I do my job and keep my complaints to myself.  In return, Kroger pays me more than I'm worth ... and matches the first 7% of my 401(k) contribution.  I have great insurance, two weeks paid vacation and two paid personal days every year.  Soon I'll have three weeks paid vacation and three paid personal days every year.  Kroger even paid me bereavement pay (three full days' pay) when I went out of state for a family member's funeral recently.  I love my coworkers and managers, and they have the decency to at least pretend that they like me (and if they're pretending, I don't really care ... I get the same satisfaction whether they're feelings are genuine or fake).

It's a wicked and corrupt society when everyone thinks they're entitled to much more than they're getting.  So many folks think it's some sort of honor to their employer to have them as an employee, and think that they should be compensated accordingly.  If you want more money and more benefits, work hard and keep your little snowflake issues to yourself.  The more you whine, the longer it will take you to move out of your low wage position to one with a higher wage.

I have worked for the company for 2 years and the store management really cares about their employees. I am very happy and not frustrated with the company.

There's a reason why you were still a bagger at the time of this post - if your long rambling incoherent post full of major spelling mistakes, bad grammar and missing punctuation, is anything to go by, then you're a loser with zero life skills and an overinflated ego and expectation on what your deserve.

English lit and 3 tech degrees, and you post that appalling insult to our eyes? Give me a break, my dog can put together a better post - and he's been dead for years...

It may well be that you are even be under-qualified as bagger and I'd hate to imagine how badly you do that job...

 

Sheesh, stop whining about life and grow a pair - you come across as a whining pathetic little cry-baby who expects the world to owe them a living.

WHAT THE HELL AND WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU!  YOU ARE PROBABLY THE ONE WHO HAS NEVER WORKED HARD A DAY IN YOUR ENTIRE PISSY LIFE!  YOU COME ACROSS AS THE ASSHAT THAT YOUR POST INDICATES YOU ARE. 

I worked for Krogers for 5 months in the deli.  I can tell you the pay is low and the management is poor to say the very best.  No dont work for them!  You will be unhappy and frustrated with the company.

Where was your union steward??

Just lost my job with Kroger, they had me come in one day last week then nothing else for the remainder, this week I go in on Sunday night I was overnight stock crew and when I clocked in the system allowed the ring in but at the end of the five hours I was supposedly scheduled to work I go to clock out and the system throws an error message employee schedule not found.

I go and get the department head who then tells me I was not actually in the system as in on schedule so I worked for five hours without being on the clock.

 

The next day I called to see if I was scheduled at all an the customer service girl tells me that I'd been let go.

 

This company is the most unprofessional joke I've ever worked for, they didn't even have the decency to tell me that my posted schedule wasn't valid anymore.
