One Man's Opinion

One Man’s Opinion About Sears

Word of caution – Buyer Beware

Sears clothing is of poor quality just recycled K Mart castoffs

Sales Prices are bogus…30%, 40%, 50% and 70% off are from retail and do not represent prices that items were ever sold at. In other words some sales raise prices.

Sears Auto Centers are owned by individuals (franchised) who could care less about what Sears service use to be.

Do you know that there are only four (4) register systems in the whole store? And if a cashier needs a manager to approve a price discrepancy, refund or error it can take as long as twenty (20)
Minuets to find one…only one (1) is on duty anyway. Bring a lunch or snack.

Major appliances are so shoddy that they have had too open clearance centers so they can reach
A larger segment of unsuspecting new customers…Look at it this way, those products were damaged in transit, or on delivery, deemed not to standard by SEARS in the first place or rejected by the original buyer.

Same pricing policy on sales. Note… all Kenmore products have two (2) model #’s next week it will be advertised for lower and the Price Guarantee will not be honored.

Customer Service is a call center so when that sales associate tells you anything you may never seem him again. Protection Agreements are the main thing you will hear about…did you know that SEARS mandates employees to sell up to 9.3% of their total sales as Protection Agreements, Or they can and will be terminated? Employee’s that have been with them for decades!!!! And let’s not forget The Sears Card which needs to be appx. 15% of all customer sales. Upping SEARS’s profit, min. Int. rate 19.24% and up to 32%.

Service on tools, appliances etc. is a total farce…SEARS techs are those small local guy’s you stayed away from because you wanted someone you could count on. Prayer is more effective if something breaks.

And then Imagine working at SEARS for years making it the giant it once was, and seeing your career nitpicked and you driven out!!! And how about your vested retirement plan being swallowed up because SEARS is now SEARS HOLDING CO. What do you call a company that passes on a 100% increase in Healthcare cost to it’s mostly minimum wage workforce? After posting a 198 million dollar profit that year? And what about the work conditions for its employees? SEARS does not have air conditioning…never has, temperatures reach 3 figures inside. Fear and threats are the management techniques used there. One male manager was found to be having a sexual tryst with a male employee who was just over 18 years old. Sexual and racial harassment are the rule. Ask any employee there of the 100+ employees they have how long they have been there…most are a year or less. So how can they have your long term care in mind knowing the odds are against them even being there?


Shop SEARS if you want to…Your nightmare is waiting
