Pros

There are some good, hard working people who still believe the company will bounce back. Work life balance is fair. Opportunity for advancement is excellent.

Cons

There have been no raises for anyone in any position in eight years. The bonus program is based on sales increases which have not happened in at least six years. There is no budget for equipment or technology which will help the company succeed. The stores are "stuck in the 70's" in decor, management style and technology. Most people in management do not expect the company to be around three years from now and many of the top executives have already bailed out. No hope for a future.

Pros

If you are a terrible employee you will never have to worry about being fired once you make it past your 90 days.

Cons

Kmart sets impossible goals for it's employees and fails to hold anybody accountable for incompetence and failure. If you're looking for a place to succeed when you are a failure Kmart is your place to go.
