KMart Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The way the younger team members look up to me and confide in me. Thats it

None that I can think of

My fellow team mebers who understand how bad the management is

Training, team work, great line managers who lead by example, amazing customer experiences, core values

Review from Sales Dept

Majority of my team is fantastic I love them

Effort to make things better

My fellow team members (Non Management)

how everyone is so nice to everyone

We are all inclusive towards race/ethnicity/sexuality and general expressions of self.

The only Positive thing out of this company is being able to work with coworkers I enjoy. But otherwise I cry everyday before coming into work, scared I will be ridiculed and constantly abused. We have asked for HR to look into this issue but they have never been contacted.

It is my extended family
