Pros

Worked with great people. Loved the discount. You get a discount for sears and kmart. Benefits are good. Usually pretty good about giving you time off when you need it.

Cons

Communication isn't to great. Management expects a lot from you but you never get a raise. They go on and on about how good the store is doing and how we hit our goals but then tell us they are going to cut our hours. You get quizzed every month on there quality policy and other things related to your job. It is overly micro managed.

Pros

Good team and good compensation

Cons

The contract is only for 30 days, so it needs to be renewed every month, and we always lose access during the process. This creates some uncertainty for us.

Pros

Working at Sears allowed us to develop strong customer service, communication, and problem-solving skills in a retail environment. We gained experience assisting customers, handling transactions, managing merchandise, and working as part of a team to meet sales and operational goals. The position also helped us improve time management, adaptability, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced setting while maintaining a positive attitude toward customers and coworkers.

Cons

One challenge of working at Sears was managing periods of high customer traffic, which could be stressful and demanding. We occasionally faced difficult customer interactions, changing sales expectations, and the need to balance multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Additionally, retail schedules often required evening, weekend, and holiday shifts, which could affect our work-life balance.
