Working at Kmart in Palm Beach Gardens, FL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Palm Beach Gardens, FL Area

"At the location I worked at, I can affirm there, that Management seemed unwilling or unable to address voluntary negative occurrences between employees and personal grievances. The company is definitely proactive about slip & fall prevention/safety, and sexual harassment but might consider ancillary drama and strife too petty to address and resolve. It's hard to turn down extra hours sometimes. But also two days off was actually hard to automatically get. Working here had pluses. I knew the pay was ground level minimum but employees would so perk up under even a tad more. And as widespread, especially in retail, raises and official benefits are simply not there. Can be really bad, foul language... all over the store. As with a coworker's disrespectful or inappropriate words or behavior to another, what could be listened to by management? Some employees or managers lacked physical boundaries, ironically. You tell someone please don't do that, but guess what? Or if you have a pain problem and someone just keeps touching you just a little too hard. I rated technology a low mark for a few reasons, the biggest being mismanagement of how employees stash needed by others devices so they can't be accessed, and the debilitating dearth and lack of radios and other salesfloor devices when overcrowded and top-staffed. I can't talk badly of this company but with it, as with so many other work venues, you're taking your chances. I worked with some great people but toxic ones. There could be much angst and lack of smiles, so it's important to be true to yourself and monitor your morale and attitude projected to buyers, but it does actually mean a lot. More than you know. One of the pluses was it wasn't so rush-rush, you could still get the line thru or get your job done without your neck breathed down upon. Be aware this is a rougher environment people-wise, generally, and if you don't like it... well. The stockrooms are COLD or facilities very warm, it's true."
