Pros

Great atm plus family oriented work enviornment is one great thing about this company. Sears is in the process of trasition of their main customers toward the younger generation

Cons

lack of communication between stores and corporate office. The training program found to be very disappointment to me because it is not structured.

Pros

Benefits not bad . 5 weeks vacation. My manager does let me take the time off . Also able to have a flexible schedule.

Cons

It seems the corporate office changes direction ALOT This year its Retail Role/ Store Certification I expect this will be forgotten in large part like Clean and Bright ( last years main project) We're tired at Store Level. More and More programs that seem to divide our time and energies. Feel like we have lost our way.... drowning in paperwork and the customer is no longer our primary focus.

Pros

If you're willing to put up with all the crap and put your heart and soul into it, you used to be able to climb the ladder. Not sure if that's still the case as they're changing everything, again. If you're in management, even at a supervisory level, you get great pay.

Cons

Sears cannot leave well enough alone. They continue to try and change things around, even re-trying things that have failed in the past. The local store is bleeding talent due to all the silly changes and the new attitudes taken on by management. Especially by one manager who feels the need to harrass people to the point of them crying daily until they leave.
