Busy
Cashier (Former Employee), Bloomington, IL –
It was busy, but I learned a lot with the cashiering. I enjoyed working with the co-workers. The hardest part was knowing what things were on sale, and what wasn't.

Working with customers in retail
Layaway Clerk, Cashier, Display Worker (Former Employee), Millard Nebraska –
Pros: flexible hours for a college student
Cons: did not lead to full time.
I worked for Kmart for four years and did not dislike any job that I had. Kmart was my first job regular job that I had. I learned important customer service skills that were carried with me to other jobs that I had. Also, Kmart taught me to me a better customer because I have walked in their shoes.

awesome work place, my favorite job i had so far
Sales Clerk/Stock/Inventory (Former Employee), Huntington Station, NY –
Pros: everything about this job is great
Cons: long hours on feet
typical day at work is fast paced, customers are pouring in and bombarding you with questions but i enjoy helping them find exactly what they need in a quick time frame and explaining where products are located due to the huge size of the store. i learned alot about customer service and how to deal with various attitudes of customers. my co workers – more...  were a blast and we kept each other entertained through out the hectic days. hardest part is being on your feet all day but the enjoyable part is going home remembering the customers who were satisfied with the service you provided and seeing them return and specifically ask for you or find you for help – less

Productive, relaxing work place.
Customer Service and Meldisco Shoes Associate (Former Employee), Janesville, WI –
Pros: relaxing
I very much enjoyed working for this place. I would work in the shoe department and I was the only employee besides my manager I worked for. She is a sweetheart and im glad i worked for her. She taught me how to do inventory for the first time and how to process them into the computer. She taught me different things that needed to be done into a retail – more...  store. She trained me very well and I was very happy to have worked those 2 years at this place. – less

Kmart Employment
Hardlines Manager (Former Employee), Stockbridge, GA –
Pros: great atmosphere of team work
Cons: working in the garden shop
I enjoyed working for Kmart, despite the low salary there was a family like atmosphere. I would come into my shift, check for notes, agenda and the emails and go around and speak to staff. I would go to my assigned department and walk it and decide what would be assigned to subordinates. Everyone were adults and even some of the younger employees were – more...  very mature but they carried themselves in a disciplined manner. We helped each other and no one put the others job down. If any of us had a disagreement, it didn't last long. I learned alot about management from the Operations Manager and how to deal with upper management. – less
