Pros

decent pay for recent grads fortune 500 company HQ has gorgeous campus and full cafeteria

Cons

Management could care less what's going on on the ground, they delegate cross-functional communications for bottom employees to carry out the bad news (very unprofessional). Most of the work can be automated yet I'm still using systems from the 80's keying in one number at a time manually. It takes time away for anyone to do useful analysis. No pay raise in years. People are leaving faster than they are willing to hire new employees, people left over are asked to take on multiple positions with same pay.

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.
