Pros

There is some job security, only because it's hard for them to keep someone there long. HR was easygoing on vacation time off (unpaid). The job itself was very easy.

Cons

Incompetent bonehead management, security team very shady, small salaries. Stupid sale structures that come to all Kmarts directly from HQ, there's nothing the managers can do about it. Bait and switch sales that rile up customers. Endless stream of high school kids coming in to work registers, and leaving soon after once they see how bad and low paying the job is.

Pros

I worked at Kmart for 30 years, until I retired. I saw many changes in policy and management. Through it all, I was treated fairly.

Cons

Dealing with the customer base.
