Kmart reviews

Crisis management style and no regard for employees whatsoever. They chew employees up and spit them out faster that you can blink. Hard to believe that the store manager has been with the company for 40 years. Not hard to believe that the management position I held has been vacant for the majority of the last 20 years. No support (for any department or employee) either at the site level or corporately. Inmates running the asylum. Dont walk, RUN away from this employer.

The trouble comes in the paycheck. Really low pay levels no matter how good you are at your job. The problems comes after Christmas, after the company has made it's money and no longer needs you. Hours get cut across the board to levels where no one can possibly afford to pay the rent, much less pay the rent and still have $20 to eat for the week. You can't get unemployment. You can't get Food Assistance. Food Stamps require that you are working 21 hours a week and You're lucky if you're getting 12. Unemployment requires that you have been full time and that the company lets you go through no fault of your own. There's no such thing as full time for almost all of the workers. I wonder if they are proud of themselves? The only way they can have employees is if the government subsidizes them, with the majority of their employees on food stamps and rental assistance programs or selling plasma and haunting food banks to be able to eat. I would never have taken the job if I knew that I would be facing homelessness in the coldest months of the year.
