Kmart reviews

No where near enough money for the pressure put on us by management. It is inhumane to threaten the employment of associates if they do not get a 20% enrollment rate with SYWR. Because of this, cashiers are often fired, quit, or no call no show and still on the schedule, making the front end short and putting extra pressure on the service desk and floor associates. What makes me most angry is that I have been with the company for four years and I am making less money than the newest people who have been hired, despite my experience and cross-training. There is an apparent freeze on raises, but I fail to understand why new people get more money in that case.

Pay is low. Benefits are not free for part timers. Most positions are part time. Those that are not burn out fast (service desk). Hours vary with season. Holidays are work days. Don't bother to ask off. Holiday season, expect to work random hours. Close one night, open the next. You are expected to get rewards cards. More is better. If you don't expect flak. You are replaceable, and once you've been there awhile, you train your replacements. Customers can be rude to you, but you must never be rude to them. The training is never ending, and repetitious. The machines don't interface well. They break down. Freeze up. Corporate is often touring, secret shopping, and just looking for a reason to complain about the workers. It's all about numbers and quotas in the end.
