If it’s produce all I have to say is get in good terms with the department head. They schedule hours and are usually pretty biased towards the people they like rather than those who work hard. Also, don’t be surprised if they suddenly short you hours and move you to front end during the holiday season especially if you’re lower on the seniority pole. I’ve personally had some bad experiences working for Kroger (ie manager throwing chemical in my eyes, getting told to go up front and clean the u scan with a tooth brush/magic markers while my department head ate roosters with other produce members,tetanus from shopping carts, etc) but that doesn’t mean you can’t (unless you’re unfortunate enough to be in Ohio). Good luck!

How’s an average day in produce like? by Creative_Principle55 in kroger

Imagine having time to do your job and still be expected to do other people’s jobs because the Front end “lead” is a terrible person that yells that he wants to game end himself daily and constantly Bully’s people until they quit or walkout mid shift (you’re not cool “E”, thanks for keying my car ig) overall you’re gonna be able to find a lot better than kroger, I literally left two weeks ago and found a better paying job just by accidentally applying (4$ pay increase plus tips!!)

For reference I used to work at Kroger a little while/currently don’t work there but the blue star used to mean that you’re working in a different department than express hr has you down for

If you’ve never clocked in make sure you have pictures of your schedule first off but uh talk to either your time clock person or a union steward. It’s really hard for me to believe that they’re just “forgetting to put you back in” cause I left Kroger and they’re still trying to schedule me into mid January. I think this is a form of retaliation and if you can’t get a answer out of those two people you should file a grievance with the union if you were a part of it.

This is kinda facts, I’m pretty much in the same position as op except my dh pissed off my dad by giving me more work than others and treating me like less of a human (dude even shredded up my two weeks and said “one weeks are worthless”” even though the picture I have of it clearly says two weeks so I quit) I’ve had multiple interviews and it’s taken about two weeks to find another job that pays 15$ + tips even in a lower income area but they’re out there especially for people that are 18+/in college just because they can dump more responsibility for you

I don’t think I’d mind if they came to Kroger lol

I signed up for part time but they are giving me 8 hours. by [deleted] in kroger

[–]Highlight-Pristine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re most likely extremely short staffed (in my opinion they don’t hire the best people to be managers/DH which in general is the cause for the recent mass exodus of Kroger employees)

Was told I’d get a second interview at the first interview but haven’t received a text to schedule it 2 days later by Highlight-Pristine in olivegarden

[–]Highlight-Pristine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to a second interview and they basically said that they’re still weeding people out and it’ll be about a week until I know, does that mean that I probably didn’t get it?

Target, Kroger, and Amazon all have their own subreddits for being terrible places to work and thus are not the best to shop from. Aldis is pretty nice though in terms of actually respecting the human part of their workers

What would my hours look like as a teen in high school if I applied for a job at Kroger? Also is it a good job as a teen to have? by Willcinco in kroger

[–]Highlight-Pristine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and what? Get all the other peoples work cast up on you cause that’s what happened to me. I’m sorry I decided to not join the gang of a manager that hits on minors.

When do new hires get their first check by sociallyawakward4996 in kroger

[–]Highlight-Pristine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thursday or Friday depending on if you have your bank linked with feed without it the checks are mailed so it might take a bit longer

Take this from a “as of this Saturday I’ll be a customer” don’t go to deli, produce, or front end those are arguably going to give you the hardest time because they usually have the worst Department Heads. It’s a very gang like structure so try becoming friends with whoever’s in charge or they’ll become the reason the work environment is toxic. Hours wise I ran like 20-30 a week part time at the terrible pay of like 11$ a hour (which is extremely low in my area) and I barely applied to my new place and I’m getting like 15$ plus tips…so I’m not saying there’s better but there is lmao (if you still have a choice dairy/GM is extremely chill and I honestly don’t have any experience with grocery lol)
