Pros
If you work hard and excel at what you do, you can and will advance. They are usually fair-handed with promotions and recognition of good results. They are very, very understanding when you need time off for family or personal issues, more than any employer I have ever heard of.
Cons
It takes 18-24 months in salaried management to advance. This may be to the benefit of many who are thrown into jobs unprepared, but to those who can adapt well to changing environments and situations, it seems like a restraint on much of the competent management within Sears Holdings.
