Pros

Some flexability in scheduling if you are on good terms with your manager. Most leads and ASMs seem to care about the people they work with.

Cons

All management from store manager seem to care about are the stupid Shop Your Way Rewards, suckering people into credit, and selling protection agreements that really don't cover all that much. They forget the ones that make the stores work are good hardworking people with real human needs! Hours have been cut back so bad you are lucky if your not working by yourself. Don't plan on ever getting a raise (unless minimum wage goes up) because they were eliminated for any nonsalaried person years ago. More work, less pay is the rule of the day.

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.
