I enjoyed the staff I worked with... They were under appreciated...when I left management never said goodbye or did an exit interview

Small family run print shop.

Front section was a copy shop and the back was a full print shop.
Not much else to say

This was, by far, the best place to work!!!!!!! loved everything about my job there

TYPICAL DAY AT WORK IS RECEIVING FREIGHT AND BRINGING IT TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT RETAIL SINCE I'VE BEEN AT SEARS. MY FELLOW ASSOCIATES ARE GREAT TO WORK WITH AND VERY HELPFUL. MANAGEMENT IS VERY HELPFUL AS WELL AS INFORMATIVE. THE HARDEST PART OF MY JOB IS TRYING TO GET THE MERCHANDISE OUT TO THE FLOOR WHEN THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IT BUT – more... THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF MY JOB IS WORKING WITH THE BEST CO-WORKERS EVER. – less

An enjoyable experience. Lots of dynamic people to work with and learn from. Flexible schedules allowed for personal growth as well. Trouble shooting for potential clients assisted in learning merchandising techniques.

There were no typical days at Sears. I learned a lot, mostly about safety and how to use certain tools. The management was nice and I had no qualms with anyone. the hardest part about the job was the lack of hours, this was also the best part.

Very repetitive learned about appliances
how to service and management
not very supportive,
coworkers very supportive,
dealing with the very upset customers who have not been properly serviced prior,
helping all customers with their needs.

typical day at work? well i liked it at Sears outlet store, I learned alot of things like how to use the cash register. I met alot of people who have worked there for a long time, interesting people. There wasn't really anything hard about the job. I enjoyed the hours and never left Regina.

A work day at Sears is a good day we have a repeat customer base and we know them by their first name and they seem to enjoy that. Ihave learned a lot from my job as I have worked in a few departments. I started in Housewares and although I do not cook I knew about all the appliances and cookware. I learned to decorate a table with linens. I also worked – more... in Bed and Bath and now in Catalogue sales. I love the my co-workers as we have a really good repore with each other. The managment are very helpful and pleasnt to be around. The hardest part of the job is when we cannot help a customer with their requests. The most enjoyable part is when we can make a very upset customer happy and knowing they will be back. – less

I really enjoyed my time @ Sears. Learned a whole lot! There were many different brands that I designed for with a lot of skilled, trained and professional people.

Nice place to be working at with a minimum wage. If I would find a better pay I would even perform better.

You are customer friendly working in an enviroment where customers are treated with respect..These are customers who have come to Sears for many years..Co-workers are like an extended family..Customers are like family as well.

a typically day at work would be in the menswear section handling customers and getting them what they want .what i learned at sears was the way people shop and what really catches the human eye.the management was great i had no problem with that.they were kind and very friendly .my co-workers where fun and exciting people to be around.the hardest part – more... of the job was prolly christmas time when theres a huge mess.The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and making sure they received amazing expierence and great customer service. – less

i learned customer service in depth and how to handle situations without the aid of a manager.

my manager was present but not very often and not willing to support operations when needed.

my co-workers were very nice people well educated and just very friendly.

dealing with customers that are angry at the product itself and just selling the product – more... that i was selling which was protection plans. – less

From working at Sears I have improved upon my observation and team work skills. I currently work within a group of two investigators in which we make use of CCTV and physical patrolling to detect and apprehend shoplifters. The most difficult part of the job is the fact that we are understaffed in the Loss Prevention department, at times there is only – more... one investigator scheduled for a shift. – less

I work as a Sales Representative in the Hardware Department which includes lawn and garden, fitness, and home improvements, I've learned how to be successful in sales. I also work the odd shift in electronics as well as working with the signing group putting up sale signs to standards weekly. Mid level management is great to work with. The hardest part – more... of the job is overcoming customer objections. The rewarding part of the job is having your customers return to see you for another sale. – less

This is a retailer, that has been a around a long time, out lasting, Simpsons, Eaton's and now Zellers. As a commission only sales rep.' they do not offer a lot of benefits or opportunities, unlike what I was pitched on, during the interview. They are more of a sign that retail is near the end of it's rope, and there are massive consolidations coming. – more... I knew the pay was not going to great, but I was disappointed by the lack of opportunity to move in the company. – less
