-nobody is given 40 hours or above in a week. sales associate are making only 1% of their sales ( example of thethe electronic department when you do sell a television. -when you are on training your hourly salary is $8.00 while as soon as you get on commission they pay you $6.00. -The HR department is unorganized,and when you get hired, they don't give you all those details about the company or you real salary. - before you start being on commision, which can sometimes take over 2 months when they said it is after 2-3 weeks normally, they motivate you to sell protection agreement ( PA) when you are not getting a dime out of it.

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.
