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

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.

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
