Sears Holdings Employer Reviews

Was a good company but too many other companies competing now.

Major retailer Sears acquired Big box Kmart and eliminated food departments because they weren't consistent with it's prime directive which is hardlines.

Sears can't get modernized as fast as you change your cell phone. Need better management with better sense. Stop losing customers and money by taking care of your employees.

inadequate training,little or no factory training
poor scheduling of routes
lack of a true inventory control(parts needed for route)
some feel that sales is all that matters instead of reparing appliances and meeting customers needs.(being on time)

Working in consultative sales, I have learned how to deal with difficult situations in a professional manner, as well as reaching the customers overall needs. I have learned how to interact with customers and raise my interpersonal skills that will benefit me greatly in my career.

Interesting place to work but definitely has its unique set of challenges.

the management team was okay. they seem to only care about themselves. they were very flexible when it came to my school schedule but other then that, I am finally glad that I get a chance to broaden my horizons and find new job opportunites.

Very stressfull at times. Management work load can be unbearing.
Great Team of co-workers under my supervision.

Store enivorment is family oriented.
Management always willing to help and listen

I learned that Sears is about to divest the Sears-Kenmore operation to free-standing stores.

I learned that nobody has gotten a raise in three years.

I learned that I was working with some of the unhappiest people in Tulsa.

Probably one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. Very little regard for the customer or the employee. A bottom line driven business. As long as management is making their numbers, thats all they care about

Leadership....values and over all good experience....loyal to employees......room for advancment......morals and values

Very good hours , The staff is very flexible with shifts and help out as much as they can.

Generally my day begins with review of the previous day's sales figures. then the normal management tasks..(i.e. reviewing overages, shortages, shipping, and receiving of high value merchandise...etc.) Training of new employees, and meet with the store staff to talk about accident prevention, shrink control, and general safety. Then to the camera room – more...  to monitor the goings on in the store. The afternoon management team business meeting, conferance calls, giving gaols, and instructions to my staff, then home. – less

UX work at Sears is usually fast-paced, operating within a work model somewhere between waterfall and agile, with a multidisciplinary spin. The team is a collection of rockstars, and they do great work.

The downtown offices are relaxed, with a somewhat laid-back vibe, and the suburban HQ is a little more buttoned up, but UX still has its space within – more...  the crisp, corporate atmosphere there. – less

A typical workday at Sears Holding meant you would be facing new challenges everyday not all accounts were handled the same. I learned many thing as the company had a awesome training team in place and allowed us to take additional training on the job. Management had a open door policy and were always available to assist. My co-workers were like family – more...  and it was fun working on the team concept. The hardest part of the job was saying goodbye to a company that cared about its employees. I always left the job everyday with the feeling of accomplishment as good customer service was a must. – less

A typical day at kmart is assisting customers on the sales floor, Maintaining your check out lane, Checking out customers in various departments, Doing reshop(putting returns and items not wanted by customers back on the shelves.

Punch in, login, start recieving phone calls, fifteen minute break, finish. Basics of Salesmanship, management was keen and incisive, coworker were great, sweating in seats was hard. I enjoyed my coworkers.

Manage between 70-100 employees at a time but the most difficult part of the job is that although assistant managers and department managers are employed and inside the building, most customers and employees want to speak with the store manager.

Along with the daily timekeeping which includes entering punch times & timesheets I also process short term disability, vacation & personal holiday request, and salary advances. I run daily, weekly & monthly reports. Maintain a strict e-filing system while also maintaining a very close relationship with the districts which includes local HR, tech managers – more...  & the technicians. – less
