Pros

Kroger is a good company to work for if you are either a high school student looking to make some quick money or a lifer, in it until retirement. The union generally takes pretty good care of those who are in it for life, or those who are specialized (eg: meat department).

Cons

Unless you are willing to put in enough time to build up seniority you will not get good hours. If you are not intending to make Kroger a career you will not advance. Management is not interested in implementing new ideas.
