ZachG91 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 does he know what kind of work he will be doing? I work in the distrubution center for Gordon Food Service as an order selector, and that is very physical work. Don't know how krogers is setup tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Showing up early and not missing work <usually> bodes well for employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Where is this? My DAD worked for years at the bakery on clevaland ave. All I can tell you about that place is it is hot in the winter and hotter in the summer even in the management offices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 My friend worked there, actually drove from Mansfield down daily 3rd shift I believe. Pay was good, and labor is just that, labor. It's not like a stamping plant or anything, just picking/packing food orders etc.He works for Frito Lay in Mansfield now, and fills box orders/pallets, lighter stuff, and closer to home so works well.I know Kroger treats their employees well, I think he even had a 401K.

jporter12 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 My wife works at a Kroger store with 15 years in. They're a pretty good company to work for. I also know at least one person that works at their warehouse in Delaware, if you don't get enough info I can see if I can ask him on FB.

slingingchic Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 My son was just hired on and I want to know what he should expect from themI will be honest with ya, he will probably be a picker, Krogers is union, so he will be the low man. He should talk with the union steward on his first day and get a copy of the contract. It's similar to Pepsi he will be throwing packages of all kinds of weights from cases of toliet paper to cases of detergent depending on what section he's in. He could possibly work up to 16 hours a day. He should find out if they do pre-force and how on call works on his off day. Most union warehouses have similar rules. He works for Frito Lay in Mansfield now, and fills box orders/pallets, lighter stuff, and closer to home so works well.Your friend needs to keep that job, word is Frito is branching off from Pepsi since we've lost all sorts of crazy money. So, Stock in Frito Brands will be on the upswing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick37 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks everyone for the response,,Yes he will be working out at the warehouse in delaware and I believe starting as a picker,(grunt work) I call it. But everyone has to start somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachG91 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Definitely not an easy job picking. I went from 220 lbs. To about 180 lbs. In three months. He can also expect to work in the freezer, -8 degrees with a wind chill of about -12 on the top floor where I work. Once you get used to it though, its definitely not as bad, and the pay checks are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
