Pros
Store management is the best to work for. They are fair, give hours to those who work and try and push out the non-team players. They are realistic and understand sometimes the corporate goals are not always possible. They always try to give you your requested time off and usually do, as long as its reasonable.
Kontras
Corporate "management" is a complete waste of the company's money. The majority of them are completely incompetent and unrealistic. They do not care about the company's employees, customers or store management. All they care about is numbers other than the bottom line (for example, Reward Cards, Sears Credit Apps, and Smart Plan Extended Warrantys). They have high expectations and ask for a lot, then turn around and slash payroll hours. The pay you are hired at, is what you stay at, no matter how hard you work. The District Management instructs stores not to pay any associate more than the required pay per hour by law (minimum wage). I have never seen a company with lower morale among employees working at store level than Kmart.
