Sears needs to find ways to cut costs and become more profitable. There should be better pay and a more competitive working environment.

Sears is totally disorganized. The commission is a joke. There is no communication between management and employees.

I was very well compensated for the type of work in the area
Pretty laid back behind the scenes

I was hired to be the Supervisor of the IN STORE MARKETERS for 7 Sears stores in the Seattle area. My position was to hire, train, do the paperwork, payroll, keep figures and moral up. My supervisor had a breakdown after two weeks and then I did not have anyone to train me so I relied on the Human Resource Department in Tampa Florida....Big mistake! The store management hates the In Store Marketers...even tho we are Sears Holding Company employes and are to use their facilities.
The second week on the job I was interviewing a prospective marketeer when the manager came into the office I had permission to use and said he was going to kick our ass out of the office...earlier he said we could stay till 2:00pm...it was 1:30. My interviewee took offence to being spoken to like that and said so. The manager tried to remove him by putting his hands on him and dragging him out. I phoned HR....Blah, blah, blah...nothing much happened...

In another store the Assistant told me I was not allowed to go anywhere where there was a blue post.

It used to be a great place at one time you were treated with respect but that all changed with all the new management changes,your once fellow co-worker that used to be a friend now the company back stabber,drunker,petifile, how did they get these jobs i am sure they don't have the education to hold these posisitions..(FAVORITISIM).. As for benefits and pay they are way under the area standard..there is'nt much to go around after the bills are paid. The work enviroment is the most horrible you can imagine...1 guy per 2.5 doors loading freight,1 guy per 2 pick modules (most of the time) always under staffed..everyone rushing around doing the work of 2/3 workers,people getting hurt because of it..(This is NOT A STESS FREE WORK ENVIROMENT). The worst part of it all is there is no respect from these ruthless managers,they use you like a piece of raw meat..A simple thank you along with a little respect would be nice sometimes,I guess they FORGOT WHERE THEY CAME FROM!!!
