Pros

Most of the customers you deal with (in my personal experience), are kind, polite, and not very rude. You rarely do get any rude ones. Coworkers, for the most part, are very cool, and friendly.

Cons

On the relatively rare occasion that you do have to deal with a rude customer, they are literal "Karen's", almost every single time. Oh, and it is guaranteed that you will be overworked and under payed. They are almost always short staffed. The Union for Kroger is not a good union, it doesn't stand with the people, but with the corporation (it is literally in bed with the corporation). And management could definitely be better and care more about their employees. Count on constantly being micro managed and told how to do your job from people who don't even work in your department. And there is little work/life balance. In other words, the cons definitely outweigh the pros.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
