Pros

You meet a lot of people and help them as well. Also, you gain personal learning while working here from self-sustainment of work or help. You get any day off you want because they keep hiring SO MANY people and then hours get cut drastically.

Cons

No hours. No benefits for courtesy clerks even if we have been employed with the company for a long time and enjoy our position. Management doesn't do their job half the time. Theft is constantly going on at my store and management doesn't seem to care much. Registers and belts all falling apart, nobody seems to care. Bottle room wall and necessities falling apart, nothing being done. The company has money, doesn't fix anything, and cuts hours when they know their associates are hurting. No incentives for doing a great job issued, nor anything to keep employees motivated. Customers can be rude, depending on your location.

Pros

Many of the employees were very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, most of the helpful hints given differed, so a new employee had no clue whatsoever as to what the process actually was, but heard other employees complain about when something didn't go 'right'.

Cons

Extremely low starting salary. (Informed that it really wasn't bad...five cents above minimum wage!)Failure to communicate. Failure to follow up with new employees, as far as progress and expectations. Inconsistant and contradictory instuctions. Misleading information regarding being promoted to fulltime employee.

Pros

The only good thing about working for Kroger is getting to interact with customers and meet people that live in your town.

Cons

Management treats courtesy clerks like scum. Requested days off are ignored, pay is minimum wage, and employees are never recognized for their hard work even for those employees that have worked there for years.
