Kroger (261544)

Courtesy Clerk

May 2015 - August 2019 • Springboro, OH

What I liked

Bagging itself was ok, I mostly liked doing re-shops and brining in carts.

What I wish was different

I wish they'd have given me a chair because standing in one place for hours is extremely exhausting.

Advice

Get really comfortable shoes because your feet will hurt a lot after work.

Cashier

June 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

The store was very convenient for me, as it was only a five minute drive from my house. I also had a good relationship with my management and co-workers.

What I wish was different

I had to work until midnight several times per week, which was not ideal.

Advice

I think not helped a lot that I built a strong relationship with my managers and supervisors, so I would recommend that to anyone looking to work in a similar position.

Cashier

June 2015 • Suwanee, GA

What I liked

There's opportunity to move up in the store, and there's a lot of customer engagement which can help you find opportunities for other things outside of your job. For example, I met one of the service workers at a car dealership that services my car and now I get discounts on services at that car dealership.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more communication between managers of different departments and the head manager. Sometimes I was told one thing about a task by one manager and another manager would tell me something completely different.

Advice

Talk to you department managers ahead of time if you need a schedule change, and remind them. And use the online scheduling system as well.

Cashier

June - September 2018 • Lansing, MI

What I liked

Easy way to make money over the summer. Meet with wonderful staff, willing to help you every step of the way.

What I wish was different

I wish I had spent more time at the register. There was always an opportunity to do other projects such as advertisement or helping with grocery, and I always too it. I never really worked up front for the entire time I was employed. I was everywhere!

Advice

Even when you have a job, you're still building your network. Open up to as many people as you can. Each connection is valuable.

What I liked

I liked how my job allowed me to stay active while shopping around the store for the online customers. The pay was decent for a summer job and the hiring process was fairly smooth with paid training.

What I wish was different

They were severely understaffed and did not take into account my availability.

Advice

Working at Kroger taught me how to work through adversity and strengthened my work ethic. It helped me realize that I wanted to pursue a college degree and work in a job without physical labor.

The hours fit in with my schedule really well at the time.

The crew was very short staffed during my summer time there. More people on board would have been helpful overall.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

January - November 2019 • Flagstaff, AZ

What I liked

If you are thinking about going into the pharmaceutical field, this is a job for you. As of writing this statement, the Fry’s location in flagstaff Arizona is in high demand for pharmacy technicians. It is a great opportunity for learning drugs, figuring out insurance claims, and getting experience with patient communication skills. I highly recommend this job, for any pre-med student.
