Kmart Reviews

Pros

Better than not being employed. Use a job to advance yoursaelf and gain experience. open doors for later opportunities and better pay and quality of living.

Cons

The company is unstable and if you were offered a position take until you find something to keep money coming into your home. Research the company and make your decisions if you want to stay.

Pros

I loved my co workers, professional in front of customers, Great business hours

Cons

Pay is horrible, no chance of moving up

Advice to Senior Management

Stop hiring so many employees and having short schedules for employees that currently work within company. I believe the Auburn, Al store had too many people on pay roll that's why they are not making any profit and have to close just saying

Pros

Friendly staff, a lot of varying challenges to work with, the leadership is very professional, and the ablity to help customers find what they are looking for.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between Sears Holding and the stores that they own, more so than other competing stores. They technology used at the stores is critically out of date.

Advice to Senior Management

Make a facebook game that you can buy your short sells at.

managers arent too bad depending on department/ job title
good hours if you show you work hard

Cons

sometimes management can expect too much from employees, asking them to do too much
cashier overturn rate is high, credit application/swyr based
pay is minimum wage mostly and not much room for raise possibilities
hour cuts can be brutal (3 hrs/week for some employees)

Advice to Senior Management

you are doing a good job in my area, i know your higher-ups put a lot of pressure on you guys too. just remember that employees need to live. raises and incentive to perform would really improve employee morale and attitude which would in turn benefit the company.

Pros

Easy work and Fun at times.

Cons

Managers are temperamental and angry.

Overall, it is not all too bad but then again not all too good. I'd only recommend it as a job for someone with few other options. As far as working as a cashier goes it is not terrible but not outstanding either.

Advice to Senior Management

respect your people

Pros

The best reason to work at kmart might only be that they give you 20% off but only if it's not on so called on sell.

Cons

They don't pay enough only start you off at 7.86 hr and you do to much work for the pay and also there is a lot of favortisum there.

Advice to Senior Management

Some of the management is nice but some of them need some training on the way they treat people that work for them and also they need to pick the best people that work and not just stand around and judge the people that work for the company based on performance.

Pros

Everyone who works here gets a long great for the most part. Although, some people tend to think that once they reach the service desk, that they run the store.

Cons

You get very short breaks, most of the shifts are only 4-6 hours, you never get 40 hours a week unless you are managment, and you have to deal with rude customers constantly, and you can tell them you would like to try a different department, but they never follow up on your request.

Advice to Senior Management

Take a close look at your employees, and be realistic about their work. A fantastic cashier at Kmart cannot get 10 credit card approvals in one 4 hour shift. Please praise your staff for effort, and allow advancement.
