Pros
You learn a lot in your 20 weeks of training. I suppose every business is this way - not enough hours to get the job done, people are overworked and underpaid...
Kontras
Training is mostly a lie. They describe everything to you in a perfect scenario. You work 54 hours a week, 9 hour days, 6 days a week. Sometimes you'll have to work 13+ hours in one day. Your employees are in a union so they don't HAVE to work to keep their job. Coordinators/DM's are supposed to be there to help you, but they only criticize you and your store. Higher ups are extremely condescending and if you come up with a solution, they shoot it down and preach "Kroger Best Practices" will get the job done - even though they won't. Plus, it's best to keep your mouth shut. They don't like anyone going against the grain - they will try to push you out. If you want to be promoted here, you have to either be friends with the district manager (your golf game better be good), or sleep your way to the top. Lastly, they enroll a new program out weekly and expect you to be perfect in every aspect on it. They expect WAAAAAY too much out of Co managers.
