Pros

The pay is good if you perform. The other associates make this my favorite job I've ever had. Good hours. Recognition for going above and beyond. They will make you full time, but you will have to prove yourself first.

Cons

There is alot of negativity from upper management if things are bad. It's trickle down fear, really. Outside of that, the problem that will make Lowes pass Sears as number one, if not changed, is onesource and customer solutions. Eliminate them and start over. That's the only option as there is no fixing these two divisions. When you start over Sears, hire people (Americans with English as their primary language) that know what they are talking about. People who understand what the problem being presented means, and not just how to navigate an archaic computer system. You'll have to pay them more, but trust me, it will save you alot of money. And stop threatening to fire your employees. That does not motivate.

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.
