Tomorrow we'll know how the last quarter did and consequently how worried we need to be about more cuts any time soon. I didn't use to wait for financial reports for the company because I didn't care, but I've noticed that layoffs nearly always... — read more
KROGER HAS BECOME A DUMP
I am an employee at Kroger, and I am embarrassed to say I work there. Ukraine looks nicer than our stores do. They are a disaster. My store has rats the size of footballs running around in Produce, and the shopping carts are always rolling around... — read more
Kroger plans to close one of its Plano stores when a new one opens
Kroger expanded into Plano years ago and more recently it’s been building much larger Kroger Marketplace stores north of Plano and Frisco in Prosper and east of Plano in The... — read more
Only 3 Kmarts left
Once upon a time there was around 2000. Apparently the main reason they all vanished is "a study in greed, avarice and incompetence,”. Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Boston Consulting Group destroys companies
Boston Consulting Group values shareholders over employees and even customers. The creepy supposedly goofy ad campaign and feel good videos mask a corporation with no real soul or empathy for its employees or apparently pigs held in inhumane... — read more
More cuts on the way?
Do we know when and which positions?

A Kroger in Campbellsville, Ky. is closing later this month. The supermarket store is closing its location on 1509 East Broadway in the central Kentucky city on March 25, according to Kroger spokesperson Erin Grant. Grant said the location has... — read more
Boston Consulting Group
They need to go before permanent damage is done to the company. This is directed at you Stuart Aiken. You brought them in. I’m sure they have done some good but they will damage the Our Brand category before long. Look at their spreadsheets? Where... — read more
What happened to making smart business decisions?
Seem like they are more interested in hiring people from other companies than looking at the people they already have with all the years of service. Kroger hasn't recovered from the early retirements they forced on people. All those years of... — read more
Kroger doesn't care!
The average starting pay in my area is over $16 an hour with benefits. That is Walmart, target, sprouts and everyone else pays more. We start part time at $12.83 (minimum wage) go to top pay of $15.10 (after 4 or 5 years). You can never get full... — read more
You can always leave
Nobody knows better than I do what a cr---y place Kroger is to work. From lousy pay to being overworked to daily abuse from managers and so many other things. The thing is, so many people are choosing to stay in that environment. It took me three... — read more
Stay strong, Colorado!
What Kroger is doing is shameful. It's about time somebody stood up to the company's greed.
Time slips away
There are many who tell me that they planned to leave here much earlier and that they never had a plan to stay here for more than a few months. Still, they stayed for a few years. I don't understand how it happens that people stay so much longer... — read more
No upward mobility
It used to be that you could start at the bottom at Kroger and work your way up. That's no longer true. I'm sad to say that if you're hoping to get ahead, this is not the place to be. Only join this place if you're absolutely desperate or if you... — read more
Kroger Layoffs 2022
If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Kroger layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Tech jobs
Are the Americans who skated by all the India H1B replacements remaining hush hush so their kids get training and internships? How does that work?
An absolute sh-t show
Absolutely one on the worst no caring companies I have ever worked for. I am currently a store manager, and the lack of care they have for their associates is overwhelmingly clear. DON'T be fooled by their phoney "feed the human spirit" bologna, and... — read more
Kroger to hire 10,000 workers across its grocery brands
I'd like to know if people who were cut are going to be offered these jobs first or not. "Kroger announced Monday that it will hold a hiring event on Thursday to fill 10,000 jobs across its... — read more
I’ve had enough
After more than 10 years with the company I finally left. I just walked out. Told manager I quit and I felt such relief and even a twinge of happiness. Kroger is a terrible company that doesn’t value their employees one iota. Over the last year this... — read more
None so blind as those who will not see.
It is extremely frustrating to see the competitor 4 blocks from Kroger with people queuing up to get in the parking lot and driving down to a half empty lot at Kroger. It's obvious to anyone that opens their eyes that Kroger is not being run well... — read more
Former Kroger's employees, where are you now?
I hope you all found much better jobs after Kroger? The job at Kroger was admittedly only a temporary job for me and when the company started turning to online ambitions, then I started looking for an alternative. I don’t even know why I ever... — read more
Kroger closing more stores
I'd like to know if this is an isolated incident or are they closing more stores these days without making any major announcements? "Kroger will close both its Greene County grocery stores within the coming month, the company said... — read more
Heads you win, tails I lose
For the last year I’ve been feeling like this. It’s as if the company is always winning at the expense of their employees. I miss the days when it was a win/win situation. I wish upper management would make decisions that didn’t involve cutting us... — read more
Manager bonuses.
Our store received out yearly bonus. 178%. Sounds like alot until you realize the bonuses structure was changed after the pandemic started. They knew it would be a record bonus for the managers. Can't have that. I ended up getting 21% more than I... — read more
What's going on with store closings?
Is it done?
How many will be laid off?
It’s a shame what Kroger who has posted record earnings during the pandemic is doing to their workers. I used to work at a store in Seattle and luckily I’m not there anymore. My former colleagues still work there and when I saw the news I was really... — read more

They would rather close than pay the workers a little more - that’s Kroger

Bonus Checks February?
Are the next round of bonus checks this month?
Promotions?
Has there been a company-wide moratorium on promotions that I don't know about? I've been promised a promotion more than a year ago now and nothing is happening. Every time I bring it up I get reassured that it's a done deal and then nothing happens... — read more
When will they recognize that we need technology experts?
I’ve noticed every year the focus is on HOW we work instead of the actual technology we work with. Administrative overhead is up easily 50% and productivity is down. More and more business degrees and MBA types are becoming my colleague rather than... — read more
What a shame
Is it just my location or does management seem to get a kick out of berating employees in front of others? Not one day goes by that some member doesn’t get humiliated in public. I find this to be very unprofessional and demeaning, not to mention it... — read more
Kroger hires hundreds offshore in 2020
Now we know where all of these "transformation" jobs went. Hey Rodney, do you know who doesn't shop at Kroger? People who don't live in the United States. Do you know who else doesn't shop at Kroger? Former Kroger employees who lost their... — read more
Did the company ever care?
A question for long time employees: was there even a time when Kroger actually cared about their employees? I’ve been here for less than 3 years and not once have I seen anything to show this. I keep hearing about how great this company was….but NOT... — read more
WFH ... temporary, or permanent?
We non-essentials are now slated to continue working from home until 6/1. Will the company leverage this window to re-evaluate it’s necessary infrastructure to support non-essential associates? Do we need the buildings and garages, do teams really... — read more
Kroger among top e-commerce retailers
I’m just reading the news that Kroger has found itself on eMarketer’s list of the top ten U.S. e-commerce retailers. According to sales, we are in ninth place, behind Wayfair, but ahead of Costco. I’m just wondering what you think of all this? While... — read more
No paid time off for people with coronavirus?
Kroger no longer provides paid time off to employees who test positive for the coronavirus or who had been exposed to someone infected and need to quarantine. Really??? Is this true? I just saw this on CNBC. Luckily, I left the company on time... — read more
