Pros

In the appliance department, your job is talking to people. Not too bad getting paid to do this. Also, you are introduced to many different aspects of the appliance business, which may not be very beneficial, but it may come as interesting.

Cons

Although this is a sales position, often management does not distinguish it as different from any other position in the store. Kmart and Sears salesmen should be treated the same and be left free to sell. You will be asked to do work outside the department, you will learn to despise it. Managers not very willing or able to solve problems that you can't.

Pros

They will work around your personal schedule quite often, accommodating any personal issues with little to no problems. A reasonable working environment with co-workers.

Cons

Pay is not the greatest in the world. If you show little to no potential you will not get more than the bare minimum of hours to be worked.
