"Sears Holdings was a solid employer over the years; unfortunately do to retail hardships and not investing in further company innovation Sears is no longer able to compete in today's retail world. Over the years Sears was a great place to work and all that I learned and experienced is invaluable to my career. I am sorry to see them struggle in today's retail landscape but it was a good ride with many relationships, experience and knowledge gained"

"I’ve worked for Sears/Kmart for 8 years. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, working with so many great intelligent, hard-working individuals with a lot of passion to see our retailer stores succeed. The leaders have taught me to market on little to no budget and still have our marketing stand out. They are not afraid to try new things to take our business to new levels."

"I loved working for this company and really thought I would be there forever. There are a lot of things that need to be fixed on the corporate side, but within the districts it is a great place to work for. People are absolutely awesome there and they want the company to succeed, however things management is doing at the corporate level is going to make the company go under."

"Too many silos and too many layers. Many small ideas that are approved but lack extensibility and fail at the enterprise level. Company is very top heavy and while it has a vision, doesn't do well at communicating or executing the road to get there."
