Continuing my “would you care” series while I am on vacation in Belgium …
Does Sears provide such a unique product and customer experience that we would be saddened if it didn’t exist? Does Sears treat its employees so astonishingly well that those workers would not be able to find another employer to treat them as well? Does Sears forge such unfailing emotional connections with its customers that they would fail to find another retailer that could forge just as strong an emotional bond?
What say you?

I am currently a sears employee. I am fed up with being told daily to: shove credit apps in every customers face, sell extended warrantys to all & dont take no for an answer. Ask every customer for thier email address, & 3-4 other services they want us to force sell every customer. They tell employees if they cant get a certain percentage of customers to purchase these services, that thier hours will be cut to single digits weekly. Because sears cant fire employees for performing poorly in these areas. Sears is the worst company to work for, unless you are 40-60 yrs. old and still live at home with parents. This is the only way a person could afford to live is if they had no living expenses. Sears pays employees $5.50-$6.00 an hour, plus a slap in the face 1.5 to 4 percent commission. If an employee doesnt average min wage, sears will still pay that employee min. wage. BUT WHEN AN EMPLOYEE DOES HAVE A DECENT PAYDAY. Sears takes it back to cover the diff. they had to make up for you to get min. wage in the past. I have to cut short, I am getting more & more pissed off, the more I vent about this right-wing organization.
