Pros

Stable company to work for with a proven track record as the #1 retailer in the grocery industry. Great experience and exposure to what makes things tick at one of the top retailers in the industry.

Cons

Kroger just completed a voluntary retirement offer in early 2017 and those that are still with the company have seen a significant increase to their workload. Overall compensation packages are not keeping up with what is being offered from similar retailers.
