Pros

If your desperate to have a job then apply, they pay you 7.25 an hour. Another pro was the discount card.

Cons

Well where do I start? The whole management team at my store was awful, didn't really train me, only had about 2-3 hours of training 80% was on the computer and the other 20% was up front at the service desk. The manager and his assistants don't genuinely care about you, all they care about is getting there numbers which includes: Rewards Cards, Sears Credit Apps (25% Interest BTW), and march of dimes. If you don't get a certain amount of rewards cards you are punished by getting less hours. The work is also very strenuous if you don't like being on your feet for very long then don't apply. A typical shift requires you to stand up without sitting for 6 hours, with only one fifteen minute break.

Pros

It's a job, and it does pay the bills.. when they give yosdfu hours. They're (sort of) flexible it comes to what hours you can work.

Cons

Management is awful, you will NEVER get a raise from working here, they often schedule you times you can't work, there's no respect, no communication, and I would HIGHLY recommend finding somewhere else.
