Pros

Great HQ building. Lots of stuff to do...nice stores, auctions etc. Pros end at that because jobs are very low quality and Lampert being at top doesn't help!

Cons

As Manager, you have very weird work hours. Requests from Lampert don't make very much of sense. Information Systems is sophisticated, if you are okay with having half a dozen applications and IDs/Passwords. Job responsibilities are very low quality and very much clerical. Experience from here wouldn't help anywhere else in career growth.

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.
