Sales associate

June 2018 • North Augusta, SC

What I liked

I was over the self checkout. I liked being able to help customers with the machines when they needed it. Other times it was just the smiles and compliments I received.

What I wish was different

I wasn't formally trained to work self checkout. They just threw me on self checkout to give someone a break. It was a huge learning curve so I wish I had actually been trained on how the machines worked.

Advice

Always be friendly to the people around you. Kindness goes a long way.

What I liked

The friendships that I’ve made.

What I wish was different

Management needs improvement. Learn how to talk to employees with respect.

Advice

This job is an easy summer gig but for the hourly wage, poor management, and sometimes unfriendly customers it is not worth the pay.

Grocery Stocker

March 2017 • Fort Collins, CO

What I liked

I enjoyed the employee discount on everything Kroger brand. Especially as a student paying for rent and tuition, groceries can cost a lot, so the discount helps out.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more employees in order to produce a well-done job and keep standards high.

Advice

I would advise working as a stocker rather than a customer service position due to a higher pay rate. If you want the most money and school is done or not an option, start on the night crew. There is where you make the most with overnight premiums and overtime, of course.

Retail Stocker

May - August 2019 • Nashville, TN

What I liked

Pretty easy going atmosphere with friendly people.

What I wish was different

Managers were very lenient and didn't have any discipline in order for associate stealing etc.

Advice

The customers are rude and entitled because of the rich area. Not very fun to be doing a managers job when they won't.

What I liked

Working at Kroger allowed me to come out of my shell and discover who I was as a person
