Pros

They work well with my school schedule. They were hiring when I needed a job. Most of my coworkers are wonderful people that I love to be around and consider family.

Cons

Very poor management at my store. As a part-time lead I am expected to do as much work as a full-time lead. Low pay for the work. Store building is falling apart around us. I have no one under me I can assign tasks to during the day; its just me and two other leads. Too much to do with very little time to do it; also count in price checks, layaway, jewelry, customer questions, online layaways, online mygofers, covering electronics and service desk breaks. Managers very rarely give praise. They tell us they are on a pay freeze but the new hires tell us they are making more than most of us do. Only reason I am still there is because I love my Kmart family and I need a job while attending college.

Everything was a pro. That place was awesome to work for!

The only con is that is no longer a store in our community. Sadly, it went out of business.
