Once a great company, now in steep decline

Pros

Core group of people are committed, dedicated and truly care about the customer and other employees.

Cons

Sears ownership has increasingly had a negative impact on business and morale. Unrealistic financial goals leads to daily micro-management and unlimited promotions to move product. No bonuses even in a record profit year because bar was so high. Product has changed to be what LE designer's want to wear not what the customer wants. Benefits slowly declining to be "average" rather than a key selling point for working in remote area of Wisconsin.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work, friendly, pro-active

Cons

New policies feel like they are taking out the brunt of the economy out on the hourly employees and lower paid people who try to live pay check to pay check. . Very difficult if not impossible to become a regular full time employee with benefits. Now with what all of management blames on Obamacare, they are cutting everyone hours so that you can NOT get get more than 29 hours in any one week Appears like they've hired more people to make sure 2013 averages result in no one getting enough hours to get benefits. They don't care how this change effects their front line. They send staff home 15 minutes early to save $4 in wages?

Pros

Management actually cares about you and your success! Great work/life balance! Incredible support! Amazing product that the customer loves!

Cons

The shop within a store concept causes a crazy dotted line supervision battle between the store management and your LE district management. (Not difficult, just tough at times). The store side doesn't understand the LE operation.
