Pros

Sears offers great flexibility for students going to college. They also offered some continuing education with regards to the retail industry for those of you who would want to pursue a career in retail. The best reason to work for Sears is learning from the customers that come into the hardware department. Customers, meaning the contractors, will talk about some of the current jobs they are doing and why they need that tool to do it. Overall, craftmans still makes a decent product as there aren't too many returns for the goods.

Cons

It had a corporate like structure and promotion seemed rather limited. I felt I could do better than to work at Sears Holdings. It just doesn't have long term potential is all but did cover the bills.
