well actually 2 lists... I want to compare good things about kroger and bad.  So think of 1 thing per post that is good and 1 thing that sucks and we'll see which list ends first.

 

 

Good:  we get insurance

Bad:  it's retail-work weekends and evenings (apparently this is a good thing according to the little announcement they play in store).  Because...yeah everyone loves working those!

 

NEXT!

I can probably say that all the bad decisions that are made about Kroger are at the corporate level (Key Retailing, etc.)
The good thing about Kroger is that we have wonderful people that work in the store and are now running the store. Also, most of the customers are nice. The people make the store. :)
Overall, I feel happy with where I work because of the people in my store.

 so in short you're saying 

good:  great people at the store level

bad:  corporate decisions

does that sum it up?

Good:people who you can relate to at times on store level

Bad: e-schedule, corporate decisions, being pulled from your dept to sack, impossible tasks at times

I like most of my coworkers and customers.
I hate they won't schedule enough people yet expect us to get everything we need to get done finished before the end of the night.

From a shopper's perspective-

Good: All night convenience, competitive selection, decent prices.

Bad: Old school, never expanded teeny-tiny aisles vs a massively increased customer load.

This.

 

Good- customers

Bad- everything else

 

Its cute that the recruiters sweet talk the hell out of you to make it seem like working for this god awful company is the best thing since slice bread while poking fun at Walmart when in reality ive seen multiple people leave Kroger to go to Walmart because they payed better and let them work better flexible hours that they wanted to work.

Good thing: Full time employee benefits

Bad thing: the pay, if youre good at what you do good luck getting promoted, bad employees dont get fired they get a smack on the hand and you have to clean up after them so you dont get a C.A.  Union Protects people that shouldnt be protected.

Good Idea lets boycott Kroger. I bet if the public knows what's going on inside of Kroger their sales would go down
