Pros

Sears is not quick to fire unless you have poor attendance. They will work with you and move you to any department that they believe you will excel in. The co-works and some team managers are worth staying there for. One big family.

Cons

No raise in 5 years. SSM's are not on your side and they don't care about you. There's a lot of favoritism in regards to upper management. They want you to believe they hire from within and prefer their own, not true. It's hard to move up and unless your brown nosing.

Pros

Good team and good compensation

Cons

The contract is only for 30 days, so it needs to be renewed every month, and we always lose access during the process. This creates some uncertainty for us.

Pros

Working at Sears allowed us to develop strong customer service, communication, and problem-solving skills in a retail environment. We gained experience assisting customers, handling transactions, managing merchandise, and working as part of a team to meet sales and operational goals. The position also helped us improve time management, adaptability, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced setting while maintaining a positive attitude toward customers and coworkers.

Cons

One challenge of working at Sears was managing periods of high customer traffic, which could be stressful and demanding. We occasionally faced difficult customer interactions, changing sales expectations, and the need to balance multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Additionally, retail schedules often required evening, weekend, and holiday shifts, which could affect our work-life balance.
