Vantaggi
Great benefits, good upward movement for those willing to put in long hours and do your best work. Can be a good place to work, it isn't though.
Svantaggi
Kroger is cutting hours and trimming the work force down to a level that leaves little for time for mistakes and catching your breath. Kroger's biggest issue is the union environment. The presence of the union allows for retention of the worst employees while raising costs through the roof. Management is bogged down with 15 hours of work in 10 hour work days, obviously this means that management does not work just 10 hour work days. There is supposed to be a work/home life balance for management, there is not. More and more is being put on every person in the stores that a breaking point will be reached. Store managers for the most part are untouchable and put all of the work on the Co-managers.
