Pros

Good work/life balance, flexible with hours.

Cons

I have never felt like I matter less than when I am working at Kmart. Associates care little about their job and would often just wander off -- generally leaving me to deal with customers. I worked in electronics and often found myself staring down rush hour traffic by myself -- not because they didn't schedule someone to work with me -- but because the person they scheduled had vanished or was off conversing with other associates. Registers are antiquated, they'll freeze up from time to time, sometimes in the middle of a transaction. When that happens, prepare to wait ten minutes while it reboots. Getting an override and a void is also a nightmare hassle, one that I've never seen be such an issue in any other store. Just be prepared, if you're at a cash register and it tells you you need an override, expect to be waiting for a while. Needlessly long receipts. Apparently Kmart is so behind the times they haven't heard about this "going green" thing everyone's been talking about.

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

Cons

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