Pros
Friendly co-workers and management; I enjoy working hard and serving my customers well; 10% discount on Kroger-brand products. This would be a 4-star or 5-star review if not for the Union which takes a very large percentage of my weekly paychecks. A great place to get experience as a teenager working my first job.
Cons
Very unpredicatable schedules. I get a lot of hours (30+/week) during holiday times, sometimes only 4 hours/week during slower times. The Union is the biggest con of this job. Very high-pressure sales pitch to join. Benefits are exaggerated & costs are minimized. After weekly dues of $8 to $10, I make far less than the $7.35 hourly minimum wage. When I only work 4 hours weekly, the Union takes over 1/3 of my paycheck. After taxes, social security, and medicare are taken out, I my take-home pay is minimal. This means I'm working for experience and to build my resume.
