Pros
I'm always doing something different when I go into work. I have worked several different areas over the course of a year. So far, I have learned footwear, front checkouts, jewelry, service desk, layaway, online orders, and softlines. The training I received from Kmart I feel has given me a good background for many jobs in the future. I also get any days off I want and my manager is lenient on letting me have days off for the schedules already posted. The people are all friendly and we have a great time at work. All of my managers are friendly and easy-going people. The breaks and lunch breaks are also generous.
Cons
There are no raises ... at least that's what I was told. Min. wage is what I get. But it is my first job so I don't think it is that big of a deal. We do not have many employees and I feel that we always have A LOT of work to do. I have come into work before and have had to cover the shoe department and the whole softlines department by myself for 4 hours. At that point you can't feel productive because there are always strays and returns and the fitting room and freight to put out. We are overworked but payed min. wage still. Ad Signs are always screwed up...
