Start managing Kmart as if you actually give a crap about the customer.
Pros
At this point in the retailers life there are no good reasons to work for this company. Senior management has absolutely no clue as to where their customers are coming from in regards to their needs and expectations when shopping. Upper management is only concerned with their bottom line and their bonuses and definitely not the customer.
Cons
Every kmart in the local area is understaffed, understocked, and what few staff you find actually working on the floor are not trained properly. Senior management seems to be more worried about associates solicitiing sears credit card appications than in actually doing something to insure that we have customers to keep us in our jobs. Sears credit cards are not going to keep this company afloat. On an average day a store is staffed with 1 person at the service desk, 1 cashier, 1 in clothing, 1 in electronics, 1 floater, 2 managers, 1 receiving and 1 misc employee. With staff totals like this you are expected to wait on about 1000 customers a day, keep the store cleaned, stocked and help train new employees that may only get to work 5 hours a week because everyone is part-time. Not to mention being threatened on a daily basis with being fired if you don't meet a sears credit card application quota. This is not a career move I would recommend to anyone.
