"I have worked with Kmart for a little over 2 years. The work environment is great. I get along with everyone and everyone works as a team to please the customer. The only downfall of working for Kmart is that I get paid 7.25 an hour and they can't afford to give out raises."

"Worst company of my life. It was a joke."

What do you like about working at Kmart?

"Nothing. They don't care about employees one bit. All they care about is treating people poorly and paying people nothing."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Unless you want to be a slave, don't do it. This company is a joke and doesn't care about anybody that works there and the pay sucks. This company is the biggest joke on the planet."

What don't you like about working at Kmart?

"Kmart is a joke. They hire managers who are so stupid that all they're good for is talking on their phones. The only time they care and really slavedrive the employees is when corporate makes a visit."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There is a certain manager in southern NJ who is a bully and a tyrant to employees and customers. There have been complaints about her at least 100 times to corporate from customers and employees and they do nothing to her. They just turn their backs to anything she does. Anywhere else she would have been fired, but no, corporate does nothing and I hope the company disappears off the face of the earth."
