Former customer
Due to Kroger laying off valuable managers , I do not shop there, the company does not value their employees.
Walmart is the lesser of two evils
I worked for Kroger for three years and truly felt the corporation viewed employees as SLAVES and not in any way assets. From scheduling, which is atrocious and shows a lack of regard for employee well being or personal lives, to not listening to any... — read more
