Pros

The interview process was professional, but relaxed and very friendly. I was hired and started work the next week. I've also made a lot of new friends since I started. The Kmart I work at has a lot of nice and friendly employees.

Cons

The inconsistent/random hours. And no chair or stool to sit on while waiting for customers.

Pros

I love the people I work with; I've met tons of friends while working here.

Cons

No raises for part-timers. Only way to get a raise is to apply to be a department lead, but that means long hours for only a dollar or so more.

Pros

low standards for who they hire? none. it was terrible.

Cons

Managers will treat you like DIRT. You are either overworked or underworked, they will schedule you when you have said you cannot work and will get in trouble then you don't show up. I was 16 when I worked there, and they had me in the restaurant. I closed alone every night I worked, which is DIFFICULT especially on weekends. There were 2 people working maximum and the managers treated us horribly back there.
