Things have not been right for a long time with sears. Being a commissioned sales associate was the pits. Every paycheck being in draw pay was the worst. Trying to sell things or having cancellations cuz product was not available was the worst. Now, this has been going on ever since the bankruptcy and if you worked in a slow store even longer. Did any feel great relief once everything was announced as closing? I feel like store closings may give people an opportunity for needed change. I’m not speaking on management because that is a different circumstance.

There was once an associate in now defunct store that spent almost 2 years in draw pay. Even bought their own hot spot to work. It’s sad.
Ya it just created an environment of lazy associates that were good at not selling to people that didn't buy protection plans to keep management off their backs who were fine with getting paid minimum wage to play on their phones. There's no incentive to sell when you're thousands in draw pay and walking into cancellations and unavailable products to sell daily. You'd think they'd fire an employee that was thousands in the hole in draw or forgive draw pay so they would have some incentive to sell, but not Sears as long as you can make your metric percentages look alright they don't notice anything else
