Kmart reviews

Too many to mention. Corporate disconnect with real world ability to perform the endless lists of tasks passed down given the constantly shrinking budgets that often leave only a couple employees on the sales floor every weekday. Estimated time frames for projects to be completed is grossly miscalculated as it assumes zero interruption from customers and perfect inventory management (impossible due to extremely few full time employees and available budget). Stores seem to be penalized by shrinking budgets when sales are bad, instead of given a budget boost to try and fix the problem, resulting in a never ending year after year sales decrease snowball. Stores are decades old and no money is spent to renovate. Fixtures may be literally taped, zip tied, bent, cut, painted, etc in order get layouts done with whats available.

Company struggles with inventory levels making the store level experience a nightmare to work in. We often find ourselves handling freight several times before there is room on the sales floor to display it. Upper management decisions are being made without even having an understanding of actual store operations, therefore, giving unrealistic tasks and timelines to the stores and then wondering why stores can't execute. Payroll given to the stores does not match the tasks required of the stores.
