Just be careful with that. One of mine went to work there when they bought Scnucks. She was "laid off" three weeks later.
I'm not saying it wasn't her fault but there was very poor management at play in the scenario. It appeared the strategy was to hire two people for each opening and "cull the herd".

Yeah, I know for a fact Kroger has hideous management and treats their employees horribly. But I was just hoping to help the OP get a paycheck going.

I am sorry that happened to your family member.

I'm with you. It's better than nothing, but Kroger sucks on every level.

What a beautiful thread. Classic Memphis!

Good luck HT, but anyone with your writing skills should be able to find a decent job. Even if you think your education is 'a different story', I can tell just by reading your posts that you're an above-average intelligence person. Get hired, stay hired and find your way back. God Bless!

There recently was a manager at Kroger on Summer (where I live) that was transferred to Winchester (where I work.) He treated workers like they were crap. Thankfully he is gone.

Most Krogers workers that I have met are great. Most Kroger managers I've met are surly. The Meat Manager at Dexter and G'Town Parkway is a real jerk, but the cashiers and other workers are mostly awesome.

But for purposes of this thread, a job is a job and even high-paying jobs can suck, so if something is open at Kroger and you need it, you go for it.

Yeah, the managers at Kroger in Poplar Plaza have been HIDEOUS for about 30 years. They treat their employees like dirt. Nearly every employee I have ever met at Kroger is a good person trying to work for bad management. I really feel for them.
When Kroger took over the Union Schnucks and offered their employees jobs, I heard from more than one Schnucks employee that they were horrified at the way Kroger treated them.

Okay so i would like to openly thank Georgia Tiger for helping me out and putting me to work the last couple months, Not only did he help me out a ton he even helped my best friend and his brother out too!

So Thanks for everything Jim, And thanks for listening to all those problems of mine too. haha


But sadly He is done with the move and is no longer in need of assistants and sadly i still haven't found a steady job.

So if anybody needs ANY help with ANYTHING please just post in here or PM me. And once again if anybody has anyone knows of any entry level jobs hiring please let me know!

Thanks everyone

Hate that man...will keep my eyes open. Still in need for in the Summer Ave area?
