Pros

-Many sales jobs are commission allowing your pay to be how much you like it to be (within reason) -cashiers also offered incentives for credit cards sign ups -flexible hours -never really had problems with coworkers

Cons

-When working here, they started to rollout IPads as a way of processing transactions, but about 50% of the time they did not work. It felt like a huge waste of time as well as an unnecessary step and the customers could tell. -The insurance packages they like you to sell are priced relatively high and make it difficult to sell to customers considering competitors have noticeably lower insurance plans. At the same time, these insurance plans are probably the most important metric your managers care about and will be on you meet these goals. -It feels like Sears is just on a downward spiral and the changes they are making aren't well thought out as far as execution-wise.

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.
