Pros
Working for Sears is a good start. It's now listed on the 2008 Business Week Best Places to Launch a Career. I would have to say I learned a lot, which was my goal. The experience was great, and the people were friendly. The management trainee program did a good job of preparing you for the real job.
Cons
You will work 55 or so hours a week. Upper management may seem not as friendly and promotions are held for those that are most willing to relocate. I would not stay here for my whole career. Lower level employees complain about absolutely everything and anything. Some of the sales floors can be cut throat.
