Pros

Training program is very thorough but no matter what you have to learn everything on the job. Great "buddy system" where a you are assigned a "buddy" to help guide you from the beginning and (if you're lucky) throughout your career.

Cons

The company asks a lot from their employees and the culture is not great. There is a lot of pressure to hit numbers when the fact is - we can't - because of low traffic in our stores. They promise bonuses if we hit the marks but the marks are just not realistic.

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.
