Name your position, how many years you've been with Sears and your hourly pay rate.
Your general location (state or region) would be helpful too, since pay varies from state to state. Just don't be too specific obviously.

These salaries are horrible. I guess we all get complacent in our jobs and feel some sort of loyalty. :-( Shame on you Sears.
Again, Lies about Eddie. Eddie makes 1.00 a year. Where do you people come up with this garbage, It just make those of you running your mouth look stupid.
Sears. Store manager. Also midwest. 93,000
Need to move to Midwest.......
@2qyy Holy moly thats insane if you were making 75k plus 75k in bonuses. You can see the change you had an amazing salary, but it doesnt mean its gone up. Till this date its very good, but still if you started off like that amazing!
Eddie. No known position, but I arrange for 6 million or so per annum through smoke and mirrors.
My store manager is officially a Store Manager II. I assume this means but $$$ than a regular store manager but I'm just guessing. I think we're currently the Hartford market.
Store Manager Florida. 75k been with the company for 18 years. In the good old days i would get 75k bonus each year, now there is no bonus. 75k seems like a lot but this is the bottom of the food chain compared to what other store mgrs make in retail. I have an outside business going and can retire now if i have to but hope to make it another year or so here although it looks doubtful.
2015
Operations ASM - $45,000
Tampa District errr Orlando Market err whatever its called now
Saw writing on the wall that eliminations were coming and proactively left.
Now make significantly more money, pension, benefits, health, dental, 401k, vacation, sick
Sears had good people in the stores, but when you notice the traffic decreasing over the years and you're in a position that is "always" on the chopping block no matter how much money the store takes in, IBOs happening twice a year, margin rates and sales trends decreasing on your standard 100/ WE50.....you get worried
I would imagine that store ASMs make much more than the current zone managers are getting paid,what softlines and back room leads receive is probably even less although in my store all positions are responsible to do the same duties.
Only salaried position is store manager, what he gets paid no idea.
How about in other stores? We are in the northeast.
$10 / LE MCA MN worked there 9years. Min wage is $9.50

This is so interesting. So far it looks like the ASM position has a real salary valuation difference depending on where you are.
Backroom lead, 4 years started as back room at min now at 14.50 an hour. Min wage is 8.00. qmt was making 20.00, I know the sm is right at 70,000 a year. All the other associates are at 8.00 an hour.

Softlines MCA. Only started in Oct. 2015 so no chance of ever seeing a raise. Making state minimum of $8.25/hr.
No where near a living wage by any means, but at least it wasn't so terrible last year when my hours were often close to full time.
ASM- Southeast-- 34 years --$13/hr. My cashiers start at $10.50/hr.
Before I retired last year from Sears I earned 28k in major appliances in a Tampa fls. Every year I made 5k less going back 4-5 years. Partly from reduced commissions and partly from less and less floor traffic. FYI, I was there 20 years, same store.
QMT - Midwest
Left the company 20 years ago . Back then making $17.01 an hour .
Got a job in a Union building doing
Heating and Air repairs at a starting wage
Of $21.50 an hour.
And retired from that same building three years ago making $30 an hour.
Backroom, PMT/RTV/ Jack of all trades. I'd go so far as to consider myself the IT guy of the store. 8yrs, 9.36hr for like 5yrs and then 10/hr over the last year or so only because I threatened to leave.

In Pa. In the hardware and lawn and garden department we work on commission and on an hourly rate of 6.00 an hour plus commission averaging .5 to 4 % but usually 1 1\2. % on most items, gives you an average hourly wage of just over 10.00 an hour for most full time associates, yearly income of about $21,000 if you are lucky.
Miminum wage is $7.25 in Pa. Which is what Sears pays non commission associates to start, one reason why we can not hire anyone in our store.
Home appliances still in no base and straight commissions,they can average higher incomes than any other associates. What our leads are paid ,no idea, but our operations zone supervisor was just demoted to a backroom lead,second demotion,they orginially can't to the store 2 years ago as an ASM in hardliners.

Footwear MCA been here for 5 years started at $8.00 an hour and now I am $10.50 only reason my wage went up is because it was by law California increased the minimum wage.
Minimum wage for my state. $11 per hour. Used to be $10 but the state raised it.

Oregon.... $6.00 per hour plus 1% commission. The minimum wage is $9.75 per hour. I was told I would average at $11 per hour; but every paycheck has a "minimum wage adjustment" listed to bring the pay to $9.75 per hour.
