Sears Holdings Corporation Reviews

What is it like working at Sears Holdings Corporation?

Sales Associate in West Palm Beach:
Pros: Sometimes the customer is the only joy I get from work.
Cons: The entire corporation is cheap 4.25 hr 1% commission on appliances which majority are under $1000. Not to mention they sell used scratch and dented appliances for just a few dollars less than buying brand new. They stress you to sale Protection Agreements, pitch leases and credit cards with no incentives except a free lunch. So for every $100 you close they give $1. Not much to live in when your competitors selling brand new appliances for $20-$4 more or $50 or more less than it cost at an outlet full of scratched and dented as well as used refurbished appliances.

Department Manager, Retail Store:
Pros: I enjoy the interaction with shoppers. I get to help team meet their deadlines.
Cons: Lack of staff. Due to low pay in a college community, quality help is opting for less stressful jobs with better pay. This leaves me to do most of the work myself. 150 hours of work to do in 45 hours, is overwhelming.
Learning to be the best as a leader.
