Me also, I took a part time job there when I was 19 in the evenings, slinging tires. Sears tire and auto did everything back then, head gaskets, transmissions etc. I quickly moved up the ladder there, and quit my day job in the transmission shop, because I made way more money at Sears, and had a flexible schedule, which allowed me to go to college, while working nearly full time.
I almost made a career of it . You could back then. They paid well, had good bennies, and it was a decent place to work.
Glad I chose otherwise .
One of my old bosses there , is still a friend, and a Sears Lifer, he as been closing down stores for the last few years .
