Business outlook
Pros
The good thing is, people love working at Kroger. So they work there forever. Great work life balance, very relaxed work environment, you can basically choose to not work some weeks.
Cons
No one ever leaves, so moving up is impossible. They think inflation is a raise (2%) and they pay monthly. They also don't really grade you according to performance, but they try. The system at Kroger rewards those who just stay there the longest, not necessarily the best. Also the environment creates issues around accountability and owning technology related issues. It became so bad, they trained everyone on a book called "The Oz Principle"
