Pros

For a part time job income was good, until commissions were cut twice in 2 years.

Cons

Sears does not want to modernize. Plain and simple they are flat out of money and are doing nothing to get young people in to replace the very very old customer base

Pros

Job scope is wide and you partner with all functions in the business to help grow the business - although senior management usually declines bison proposals

Cons

Poor strategic direction from senior management. Seems like every decision they make is geared toward reducing profitability and to continue the decline in sales

Pros

Salary was the best I've ever had. Most of my fellow Associates - the few that were around relative to the work needing to be done - were nice and wanted to help out.

Cons

Senior Management would set completely unrealistic expectations, then berate us for being unable to achieve them rather than take the blame themselves; this created a blame-game mentality within teammates, with each trying to deflect blame for why we weren't able to achieve our numbers. No bonuses due to unrealistic targets. Worst work-life balance of any company I've ever worked. Benefits were essentially non-existent.
