Joined this company a few months ago as a softlines lead. The store that I work in has no help at all. Nada. We aren't trying to hire anybody and there's no hours for the employees that are there. If we do hire someone they last two months at best. Nothing ever gets done, projects are piling up and we're always falling behind. There's too many policies and procedures to keep track of, too many managers to answer to (some are 500 miles away) and a million different expectations--literally being pulled 50 different directions. Oh, there's no time for training. I was thrown into this, sink or swim. Store manager just says do your best with what you have only to get our a## reamed by upper management.
All for $11.20 an hour... I didn't think this job would be as stressful and thought that the pay was reasonable on paper. It's a stepping stone, I figured. A few weeks in, I had another think coming. And this wasted effort is just that, a waste, because in the end, Sears is toast. It's done. It is past the point of no return, there's no saving Sears. There's panic and the alarm bells are going off throughout the company. You can here it on the conference calls, on the news reports, on Pebble and in the shareholder meetings every quarter. I'm outta here.
