Pros

A long standing blue chip company that knows it's long term +20 year Technicians are the back bone of their service. Without the 14,000 field Technicians, Sears would be another Home Depot or Lowe's.

Cons

Few, only job more secure for a high performance worker would be a government job. Poor performers find things more difficult.

Pros

District management was great. Good training program for new managers. They offer one-on-one and group training for all sales manager. Good support network from other managers in the district.

Cons

None really, other than the pay; but that's to be expected in retail. Company rules about advertising based on proximity of Parts and Repair Centers to Retail Store made it hard to draw in customers. All advertising was either national or word of mouth. I believe this greatly contributed to the closing of the store.
