Pros
Truthfully, there are not a lot of pros in regards to the store. This is my first retail job but I have experience in other customer service related jobs in the past (8+ years). Will hire almost anyone, was unemployed for 6 months, this was the only place that hired me within 2 weeks of submitting an application. - Good floor managers 3/4. - Good coworkers to pass the time, good support from coworkers. - Flexible hours - Training is a tiny bit up to date. - It is a relax job unless the distract manager is visiting. - Interact with unique customers. (Would only recommend if a friend really desperately need a job.)
Cons
The cons relate to the store and the experience. - Outdated equipment especially registers and computers. ( I doubt the computers had any optimization in the past 6 or so years. - It is a minimum wage job, I talked to a couple coworkers who worked there for 10+ years and they are still making minimum wage. No raises, the only compensation is when you get a customer to signup for a lease, membership, credit cards, or sell appliances. However the appliances are part of the "Sears" Department and not out of Kmart. At least commission is high on that part. - Rarely Overtime, only during the holidays. - Not enough employees schedule on the floor, 1 or 2 employee will be covering 3 or 4 departments at one time. - As of the past 4 - 5 months, some departments have been out of products and yet we still have to post up "on sale price tags" as if they are still available. - Not knowing the next time a certain product maybe available (or even an estimate that we can give to customers that we don't have that product until "so and so date". - Some of the customers who can't be satisfied. - Like stated by many others, this is a part-time position, there are rarely any full time spots.
