Vantaggi
Working in sales is probably the easiest job that Sears offers, and also one of the highest paying, except for higher management. The other salespeople are often young, and it creates a fun work environment. Even though the salespeople are on commission, there is much more of a cooperative than competitive feeling about the sales environment at Sears. Everyone helps each other out.
Svantaggi
Business is sometimes slow, and there isn't much for salespeople to do during the downtime, so the job can be boring on days when few customers come into the store. Also, there is way too much emphasis for salespeople on selling their overpriced merchandise protection agreements. It's one of the hardest things to sell, but it's also basically all that management cares about in terms of performance.
