The Kroger Co. Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Worked at Kroger since 2010. Marketplace was first, then I transferred to Benton, then finally Hot Springs. If you know what's good for you don't bother with this company. Good workers get treated like crap, bad workers are brushed off because they have the union behind them. BTW UFCW is the worst union ever. Don't expect them to help you ever! The only thing they can do is transfer people but even then it takes 6-8 months to do it. Kroger and Walmart are in the same league - they treat people like crap."

Kroger is a great company and a great starting point for people to move up."

"You'll be meeting with a District Recruiter for your hourly job, the fact they use a recruiter system is a bad omen and betrays that the work environment and management are hostile.If the recruiter tries to push you into a position/pay-grade you don't want, end the interview and move on to the next company, Kroger wants part-time slaves and they'll screw you over to get what they need. Their turnover rate is frightening, and too many new hires leave after only weeks on the job.If the recruiter puts money on the table, based on your experience you'll make 9.90/h part-time. The recruiter doesn't have the authority to give you that money and they will work you for weeks at minimum wage, and give you the runaround about wage adjustment."
