Kroger Grocery Store Application

Kroger is a wonderful company to work for.

Why? Because most of the people are friendly and easy to get along with.

I submitted my Kroger grocery store application. That lead me to being hired at Ralph’s. I made so many friends in the company, as I often worked at different stores. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to. That allowed me to move up through the company faster.

Now that Kroger owns even more chain stores, you can literally change your career within the same company. I highly recommend Kroger. Although I left the company to pursue a career in Computer Technology, I still keep in contact with many of the friends I made from Ralph’s.

If you apply for a Kroger grocery store, just keep in mind a few things.

Make sure, you stay out of trouble. Because if you get reprimanded for something, you’ll never get back in. As an example, I knew a guy that was caught not paying for things. He’s been searching for a job for the last 2 years. Just because he didn’t pay for some chips and soda. Kroger has very strict rules on employee theft, no matter how small.

Make sure you always do more than you are asked. That’s how I went from bagging groceries to stocking shelves. The difference in pay is huge! Once you hit “jouneyman” status, you’ll be making very good money. Another thing is if the Kroger store manager likes you, you’ll get all the overtime. That’s very important, because the more hours you put into a higher level position, the quicker you become a “journeyman” (remember, BIG bucks!).

If you have reliable friends, have them submit a Kroger application and let your manager know. The more trustful and hard working people a manager can get (through your help) the more “perks” you get.

Always, and I mean always, go the extra-mile. I received many compliments from customers (who also told my manager how happy they were) and I scored big points. I even had some customers that would wait for me to come back from my break, just so I could help them. What did I do that was so special? If they were elderly, I always helped them with their groceries to the car. Even if they told me they didn’t need my help. I also knew a lot of people who liked to use coupons. So as I got to know people, I would recommend other items that were on sale and a coupon was available to save even more.

It’s not hard to do more than you are asked of. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my share of irate customers, but I still tried to keep a pleasant attitude. Often times people are stressed out and they take it out on whoever they happen to be dealing with. That’s just a way of life. But I took it as a challenge to try and change their mood. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. If you can become the person to help the people that no one else wants to deal with, trust me, your manager will know. Another big plus.

My customers would always ask me if their son, daughter, niece, nephew, friend, grandchildren or next-door neighbors could submit a Kroger’s grocery store application. I asked a few of them why and they said it just seems like a fun place to work.

I hope this was helpful to you and I wish you luck on getting a job at a Kroger grocery store or any store in the Kroger company.
