Hard work, little return

Pros

Experience in a retail environment. On the stock side, working in teams, fast paced.

Cons

Low pay for the work (overnight stock associate). Management doesn't listen well. High turnover led to more work per person, constant training of new people. Overnight position was eliminated without warning. I had to leave due to having classes during the day, I am no longer eligible for employment with Kmart/Sears because of that.

Pros

Co workers are amazing, loss prevention is good at their job, the regular customers are amazing

Cons

Poor discount, poor management, every manager tells you how to do the same thing differently and then literally yell at you if it wasn't done their way, they don't give raises or promotions, if they do give you a better position with more responsibility there is no raise and not many more hours, poor hours, you must get these stupid little reward cards or they will cut your hours however, they make the rules to get them so complicated, you must get emails, you must get replacement plans, you must have customers answer annoying surveys, poor organization throughout the store, messy store, many pricing mistakes, angry customers.. basically Kmart sees you as a number not a person and expect so much from their employees yet don't compensate for it or have loyalty to their employees.
