I've been in retail over ten years with Kroger being my most recent job. They are understaffed and underpaid and the lazy workers abound here. Most good workers and managers move on as I did. And to the person who said all jobs suck, yeah they do so I chose to work where they pay a living wage instead of the sh*t they call a pay around here. Seriously, Wal-Mart and HEB pay and treat you better. Please be good to yourselves and find a better place to be.(that would be just bout anywhere but Kroger)

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.

once upon a time, kroger did not suck. when i started working for kroger, over 12 years ago, it was a good place to work. sure, tere were problems, like any job. but you could be proad to work for kroger. you did your job well, you were treated well.
now, kroger sucks big time. this is my opinion as to what happened.
i started noticing changes, right after 9-11. kroger like so many companies, r panicked about a possible ressesion,  actually HELPING start the ressesion, buy cutting people big time. customer service suffered. then, came cost cutting, and store's expense. repairs were no longer getting done. my store went to hell.sales slipped
now, instead of loking in at what caused sales to drop,poor staffing, no people to provide customer service kroger brass looked outward, and brought in "experts" the same idiots, that are now runing the company. kroger is dinking the coolaid, that remodel the stores to look like other grocery chains, spend tons of money retaining their poeple on new, untested ways of doing things, and when it doesn't work, it must be the workers fauly, buy new equipment, that have no effect on a customers shoping experience, or help make work eaiser.
basically, kroger changed everyting that worked, into stuf that diddn't, and if you question it, your gone. kroger lost a lot of vetern managers, supervisors, and workers to these new programs, and now there just arn't enough strong people left to hold things together, espicially since stores now run on s skelaton crew.
instead of looking at what started this trend, kroger continues down a fast track of destruction, refusing to admit, they made a mistake, then made it worse with more mistakes. must be the workers fault, cut them replace them.
and the circle goes on and on...
just my opinion. but then, im one of those vets that got cut, maybe i'm just bitter

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.

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.

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.

Guten tag! I have been interested in working at Kroger, but, all I can see is sub-par attitudes about it. Could someone please explain to me what and why Kroger is an unprofitable place to work? also, I'd appreciate a decent and honest answer to my question.

Thank you for your time.

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.

I have been with kroger for 5 years. my seafood manager retired this past March and I took her position with only basic ass training (love and miss her to death non the less). I get yelled at and written up for the first time ever for not doing risidual scan/lows and holes...something that was never explained to me...so I just scan and hit enter (still don't know or care what I'm doing. Was never told to do orders under item review...have only ever been taught to do it under ISO ordering. It's getting ridiculious. I was told our Meat coordinator would come in and work with me for about 3 days....that was over 2 months ago....I give up and I'm sick of going home frustrated as hell.

This is B.S. my manger knows that I have a heart condition. Today I went in at 4pm to 12am. I closed during that time. I did the lot today and they asked me to go back outside to do more lots. Then after a while I came back in and bag and the manger is saying that I'm slow. They want me to work at a face pace. I was like there are other people that are slower than me. Tonight I saw a new guy that was trying put like 16 toilet papers in a bag. The manger says "No sorry that won't fit in there." I my mind I was like lol. Come on you can't fit that much toilet paper in there. Then when 8:00pm hits I went to do the trash and I finished empty it and everything. One of the cashier told me to take it to fuel and I did. Then after the fuel I went to do more lots all by myself tonight. The lot was full and no one is their to help me. Then the manger came out and asked me to pick up the pace. I was like "how can you pick up the pace with a heart condition?" So I was outside all by myself the whole night from 9 to 11:30 pm. After I go in I finished my front duties and grab a coke and went home I mean how can anyone or anybody finished the lot with that many carts within the hour with a low paycheck. Now its 1:14 am I haven't shower or anything yet. My back hurts. I got to work tomorrow from 1-9pm So B.S. and next week they only give me 3 days schedule. So is that a sign of me being close to fired. I worked and you don't appericate me. I was like wtf. Today was fine without the manger there, the 2 supervisor they appreciate me today. I was glad for them. Man I swear people are some times full of it.

I apologize for having a deeper respect for my country, I apologize for having more of a commitment to Americas people than 90% of the populace, I APOLOGISE FOR SERVING 2 YEARS IN THE WORST CONDITIONS SINCE THIS WAR WAS STARTED AND SEEING NUMEROUS OF MY FRIENDS DIE FOR YOUR SELFISH UNFORGIVING ASS!!!


 Seek help. Your bitterness suggests a lot more problems than the fact that Kroger Corp sucks ass.

The Kroger's at Oakwood Avenue in Huntsville, Alabama, is the absolute worst store I have visited. The employees are arrogant and rude and lack any knowledge about the products they stock. The facility is fraying and gray. The prices are basically higher than any of the competition's prices, except for the very few weekly specials. I called the Kroger's Customer Service Number (866-221-4141) and, after waiting over ten minutes, spoke to someone who was unintelligible. I requested that she speak slower and had the feeling I had interrupted her nap. It was all a horrible experience.

I quit maintenance too. The have a bunch of young gun DMS' running it whom have no clue about refrigeration & are in other to make a name for themselves. Thwireless obsession with quantity of calls completed & keeping the call rate down  causes the storesame to not be properly serviced. They are reactive not proactive. 

 God forbid if you point out something not being done right & you mention in good faith on how it should be done. I have never experienced so much egotistical, rude, sarcastic manager in my whole career. 

 It would do them well to clean house & hire those who.know what they are doing.

Did Kroger never suck before?  As far as I'm concerned, it always has.  The store's standards are too professional and strict.  The managers and heads look very 1950s and service sucks.  If there was a time that Kroger did not suck, tell me.  No wonder there are so many negative threads and posts on this site.
