Pros

Good job with fairly decent hours for retail. My immediate store manager is a great one, so I feel lucky in that respect. I feel upper management is open to ideas and suggestions from employees and customers, and I feel it is easy to submit ideas to Bruce Johnson with the provided commuication tool on our employee website.

Cons

I am a fairly new employee to Sears Holding who began my employment in February 2008. Started as a trainee in February 2008, with no increase when promoted to ASM. Pay freeze implemented January 2009. No 401K matching since 2009. Then no raise in 2009. When I finally received a raise in 2010, it amounted to less than a 2% pay increase. So many long term employees makes it somewhat difficult for "new" people to enter the Kmart environment. Many are resistent to change to the "new" Kmart ways or willing to explore "new" ideas or ways of doing things.
