Pros

- convenient location by Penn Station - associate discount - Shop Your Way Rewards is nice - women's clothes selection is nice too - major schedule flexibility - meeting new customers - personal satisfaction when customers are satisfied with their purchases

Cons

While I like my job as an associate working at the cash register, I dislike when the supervisors ask whether or not I met my "goals" (SYWR, Smart Plans, donations, Sears credit card). The funny thing is no one told me about it - I'm a newly hired employee who's been working for 4 days on my own on the register - not even HR, not even when computer training. If that's not crazy enough, there are certain metrics one must meet per shift ($15 of donations, 10 SYWR enrollments, 5 Smart Plans, 1 credit card) or risk being written up. This goal is not only unrealistic but unfair to customers and associates like myself.

Pros

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.
