I know this question will come of stupid if not funny, but with it, I wanted to underline the fact that this new Sears is and will be a place that serious employees will be running from. So that basically means that the company will be depend on the people that couldn’t find work elsewhere. Can a company with such a workforce survive in the future?

Sure, great place to work if you want to have a good 30 or 40, even 50 year career, because we're going to be open forever, no one's gonna stop us from closing our doors entirely! NO ONE!!
Just put Sears, Theranos or Enron on your resume and see how far that will get you. I'm a recruiter and if I see any of those companies on a resume I don't even look any further. Into the round file it goes.
You're probably okay if you're an older individual from when Sears had a stellar reputation. If you're a younger individual, people would probably question your general awareness and decision-making capability. As people often say, "Is you Sears?"
THE NEXT STORE SHOULD BE WAYNE NJ TO CLOSE
NO NO NOO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
CANT WAIT FOR THE WHOLE THING TO FLOD UP
Great advice... heaven forbid if you should indicate on your resume continuous employment with a large nationally recognized company... what manager in their right mind, wants to hire someone with a stable job history and no periods of unemployment or gaps between jobs
They already let everyone that was worth anything go because they costed too much. Only bottom feeders are left
Trust me, you do NOT want to list Sears on your resume, especially if you recently became employed there. Any hiring manager with common sense will seriously question your judgement! The job market is still hot - look elsewhere.
Based on personal observation as an outsider who recently attended meetings at HE, the employees remaining would be hard pressed to find suitable employment elsewhere. That’s why they haven’t left yet. Mainly those nearing retirement or who lack the aptitude to be successful at more dynamic companies. A veritable isle of misfits if you will.
Probably not in long term. Maybe long enough for Eddie to sell the property.
