I'm in the southwest division and I'm looking to move up. I'm currently a front end supervisor, and would like to be an ACSM next. So what's the pay roughly? I've currently have a little more than 4 months on floors, and about 1 1/2 years of work experience at Kroger. By the time the next program comes around(August I think, but if there's an earlier please let me know! I'll have 9 months on floors. What will the pay be like? Does Kroger have a certain way to calculate the starting pay.

You may have to wait longer than 1 1/2 years for one of those positions. There are probably several employees with more seniority than you that will fill those positions. The pay scale for all positions is in the union contract. I'm assuming you didn't join the union since you don't know what Kroger pays. Good luck, maybe something will work out for you.
Here is the Columbus division I think it's a little above $18 an hour. However, good luck getting a backup position with just a year and a half seniority. I've seen people waiting 7 years for a backup position.
A few ACSMs I know only get $1.00 an hour more for being the back-up department head on the front end and I'm in the Southwest Division, too.
Have you conveyed your interest in being an ACSM to your CSM, store manager and front end coordinator? The sooner all three of these key people are aware of your interest, the sooner you could potentially begin your training. One of the aforementioned three people can also inform you of when the next training program will be open.
I know one person who worked for Kroger less than a year and was able to become an ACSM, but it all depends on how many others on the front end of your store wish to move up/have seniority and/or experience over you. It helps too if your store manager and CSM like you and have confidence in you.
Is the wait really that bad?!?! I guess I never even considered that because of my store environment. The back up at our store was a bagger for about a year, then made a cashier, then promoted to supervisor a little under two months after becoming a checker , then put in the backup program after six months as a supervisor. Then given the back up spot at our store. Everything came relatively quick from being a cashier to becoming a back up. I never really given thought, but my why was there no backup at the store for basically a year? What would be the reasoning behind that, if a spot was open and there were certifited back ups to be placed somewhere.

It's hard to say why. But just because one person got promoted to backup quickly doesn't mean everyone can. There aren't as many backup positions as there are for a bagger or a cashier. There could be any number of reasons why they were promoted so quickly: past job experience, available openings in a department, nobody wanted the job at the time, favoritism, etc.
LOL! Y'all are lame. I got the back up lead in under 3 mos and I didn't even have to work at it. Its like any thing else in life ya just got to kiss ass. Course in my case, it didn't hurt that i was ****ing the **** out of the female sm. Used to bang her right in the dairy cooler and she had big ol titties with nips that were bigger then crayons when they got hard in the cold like that. Any way yeah, you can move up, just gotta know the right peoples.

Now you're just trying to topple FrontEndSlave from the top and take his job of dumb posts. FrontEndSlave is dumber than you, has been on this forum longer than you and has seniority!!!! Get back to cleaning the parking lot and bringing in the carts!

A backup position is what you make of it. People get to be backup but they don't know what they need to know. They also often don't get taught. You have to fight to learn things at every level, it's kind of ridiculous. Some front end backups know their stuff, don't know accounting, can't write a schedule, don't know anything about the real managing of the dept. If you want a position you have to make it known, you need to get on the radar.
ATL division is only 50 cents over your current pay rate. Some backups know nothing. Some know a lot. That's true of front end managers as well. What's this thing about their being training?
