Pros

I can't think of any benefits other than it's better than unemployment. Just better hope they don't start giving you 4 hour work weeks.

Cons

Pretty much everything. Management doesn't listen to employees. Moral problem is a huge deal, most associates are unhappy, which means customers are unhappy. It's a terribly place. Way too much shrink. Kmart has no idea what it's doing.

Flexible hours, if they could get enough help.

Management follows through with nothing, they hire anybody and never fire anyone not in the K-Mart in Kearney, Nebraska ANYWAYS.

Pros

Consistent work, not worried about the next layoff. Paycheck still gets cashed. The upgrades do make an impact.

Cons

Present condition is like running the company with the lights already turned off. Not showing a bright future to employees or the customers. Upper management tend to forget there are employees that do care and want the lights to remain on. There is a lack of communication of how the employees can make a difference- no values, goals, lasting mission statement to hold on to. Upgrades are behind the scene and not at customer touch points.
