Mission Statement:
Customer First!

Kroger's business strategy is known as Customer First. It is the Company’s objective to have our customer say the following things about our company:

Our prices are good.

The shopping experience makes me want to return.
 
Career Path:
The Kroger Mid-South Division includes a full service maintenance department. We employ refrigeration mechanics, general equipment mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, welders, door technicians, truck drivers and electronic technicians. Our in-house program enables us to repair everything in our stores!

Our goal is to attract and to retain capable employees. We are committed to providing our employees with regular career development activities; we encourage open dialogue to discuss and plan career objectives; and whenever new positions or opportunities become available, we always look to promote from within the company first. We are proud to say that several of Kroger’s leaders started out as grocery baggers, with no expectation that their “part-time job” would evolve into a 50-year career.

Ultimately, our success lies not only in our employees’ ability to provide the service, products and value our customers deserve; but also requires quick thinking, good decision making and an efficient organizational structure. Because of this, we realize that employees are our number one asset.

We are always on the lookout for talented, quality, skilled, professional trade mechanics seeking to take their skills to the next level. If you are one of these individuals, send your resume in to us today to find out if you can be part of the Kroger Maintenance Team.
