Kroger will fill 10,000 permanent positions in its supermarket divisions, further expanding its number of employees.
“Kroger’s growth trajectory continues to create opportunities for our people to advance their careers, and to do that in a fun, team environment with great benefits,” said Tim Massa, Kroger’s group vice president of human resources and labor relations. “We’re looking for associates who are passionate about people and about food, and who want to make a difference for our customers, communities and each other.”
While the company did not offer a time frame as to when all 10,000 employees would be hired, the announcement follows a year in which Kroger said its workforce grew by more than 12,000. Over the past eight years, the company said it has created more than 86,000 permanent, new jobs. Kroger and its subsidiaries today employ more than 443,000 associates.
