Pros

the only reason to work here is the pay. For a part time job making over $20 per hour is as good as it gets. You are able to call in to an answering machine and work hours are reasonable. This is the best part time job I have ever had. You have to be able to deal with horrible management, moral, and company policies. But when you think about the fact that you are making over $20 per hour to do very little work as a part time job, are able to call in whenever you feel like it, and as long as you are someone motivated to succeed, it is a decent job for 6 months to a year. After that it will beat you down.

Cons

You must deal with totally incompetent retail management. Corporate policies never match with in-store policies of management. Management also has a real issue with the fact that successful sales consultants make more money than them.

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.
