call it quit's before i started.

confuseI don't know yet if is was a good or bad move to find this website.I was to start to work at kroger's, but after reading some of the items on this page,i decided not to even go in for my training.I was under the impression it was a full timetime job, not a part-time.Then i hear it takes forever to get full -time.I don't know about everyone else out there, but i can't survive on 12 hours a week.  really wanted to work there because it was so close to home. but i'm used to make 11.00 hr at my old job.7.25 is a laughable amount for people with a family trying to provide for them. tell me what u think.Almost a new employee.

Yeah, you're too good to work for 7.25 an hour, 12 hours a week, but you're okay not working at all? A job is a job. Quit being a god damn baby. Apparently you need a job if you're looking, beggers can't be chooser.

You were probably right to do so.

They really hate to give people full time and hours are extremely volatile.  You might get 38 hours one week (lucky!), and 15 hours the next.

If you are desperate, you could do Kroger while you look for something else.  I don't know about other stores, but at my store, they tend to give new hires a lot of hours the first few weeks so that they don't get pissed off and leave right away.

At least it would have been something, look foward to us taxpayers taking care of someone that's fully capable of working!

Good Morning MidAtlantic i feel the need to explain ,I to was a taxpayer until the company i worked for 10 years decided to downsize.Many good people besides myself was let go.It's horrible to try to live on unemployment.Ihave no living relative.My dick head roommates tell me constantly that if i can't pay my rent, which is 100 a week. that i can get out. Iadded up that if i worked a 12 hr job,I would bring home after taxes and union dues, about 57 dollars a week, I don't know job since i was 16, now i'm now 50 yrs old with no job, I have 22 applications out right now. it's like no one is hiring for full time.So you no my side that i'm not a slacker or a bum, just need a break and can't get one. thanks victoria.

The money, the hours a secondary.
the BULL****, Isn't worth what you get paid.
yeah, beggers can choose between maybe going hungry a few days, or eating spoiled food, and getting food poisoning

same as any other company. There is always an entry lever job and that is what most new hires ( especially younger ones) do not always understand. One is never going to be able to make any type of good money in any retail store until you are around for a while.
 
Many of the recruiters for Kroger , and others, will tell you what you want to here just to get you in the door. Most of the market people here, are all hired at part time but goes full time once they average 35 hours per week for 12 weak's.
