Sears Reviews

Pros

Good quality products ie Craftsman, Kenmore plus all the other brand name appliances. They stand behind their products.

Cons

Have to be open on Sundays even in a smaller community where there isn't much business on a Sunday.

Advice to Senior Management

hire from within, and stop hiring morons from other companies to run a store when the associates can practically run it themselves

Friendly staff. I think that would be it!

Cons

Training is all on the computer in the cold training room. Six hours a day for almost two weeks. All the training is done via online modules. Ridiculous!

Advice to Senior Management

Come up with a better training system.

Pros

Flexible schedule except during the holidays of course
Good hours usually
Great coworkers
company was better after Kmart bought Sears
great locations normally

Cons

Bad work culture
High Turnover
Terrible customers
Monotonous and never ending
Weird Hiring Process
chain of command is hopeless and undignified

Advice to Senior Management

If you treat good employees like dirt, they will leave and you will be stuck with people who will eventually leave anyway because they hate their job and it will make your job twice as hard to replace all of your workers

Pros

I have great team members and we work together well. Management team tries their best to be fair with scheduling issues.

Cons

The work environment can be very stressful at time. The pay isnt all that great. The customers in the area tend to be very rude

Pros

Brand Name and World Recognition

Cons

Sears requires a lot of time and does not reward or compensate for talent or competency.

Pros

associates dedicated to the store
product dependability a plus for customers
assortment in clothing has gotten better

No work life balance for management
changes in store leadership often

training all online/not personable

Advice to Senior Management

Interaction with new hires and management, most don't meet managers except in interview stage until they are on the floor. Communication from store associates to corporate is next to impossible.

Scheduling, dynamic and good opportunities for carreers

poor recognition, afraid the company will close soon...

Advice to Senior Management

Customer experience is key... Then the services and credits will self sell
