Pros

As a fix tech. you'll get a van, gas card, home-based, company cell & a computer(sst)

Cons

They have a metric system to evaluate technicians. The metric system is a joke. You'll never hit those numbers and tech managers always find something about you to complain. You work long hours, difficult jobs/ high-end appliances that need time to troubleshoot and diagnose but, your managers won't give you enough time. You have only 15 minutes to diagnose and another 15-30 minutes to remove old part + install new parts + complete survey & paper works + clean work area + sell/renew/add extended warranties & Finnish the repairs(impossible). Sears wants tech to sell protection agreements(MPA) and sell cleaning products(VASP) they don't want a savvy & knowledgeable techs. They'll make you work overtime and 3 months later when your reviews are ready, they'll ask you why you're doing overtime?????(non-sense)! The harder you work the more calls you'll get per day. As an employee you are always under appreciated & never satisfied.They put you under a lot of pressure and it will bring your morals really down and low. Managers have no idea what tech have to go through(Long jobs, dirty houses with rats & roaches, no parking space near the service call, computer or cell not receiving signal to order or diagnose appliances). I worked there for 10 years and it was the worst job I've ever had. I am so glad I don't work for sears as it is a nightmare.

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.
