I wonder how this company still exists?

This company has become such a mess that I’m starting to think that even those at the top aren’t sure how this still works magically somehow. Everything is falling apart, from whichever aspect we look, there is nothing healthy anymore... — read more 

Sears Premier Customer here

I still own my Sears Premier card and I proudly show it to the cashier person every time I visit my local stores. They recognize me and treat me better than any other retailer too.

A Future Place to Be

What about Sears becoming a community place to be? with: A food court with carts and staff flown in from all over the world? A Sears Bank? A Sears Urgent Care Clinic? Pop up shops with the hottest street designers and artists? A crypto... — read more 

Kmart Check Cashing

Random Locations

What’s with the random Sears store in Washington state and the really random Kmart in Montana. Really surprised these stores are hanging on!!

Sears sent me an open-box item as new

I bought a "Craftsman 3-Piece Flex Handle Breaker Bar Set" on Sears.com. They sent me a open-box missing one of the three bars. It was shipped from Farmingville, NY. Just curious, how many Sears online orders end up with return?

CALL CENTER MANAGERS DONT DO A THING

All I hear is that they are on pebble all day putting up jokes . Not bad for 4-5 k a month...anyone wonder why the company is going under?

And the dominos keep falling

San Antonio call center is the latest. The parent company of Sears has decided to close a Far West Side call center, laying off about 67 employees, it informed the Texas Workforce Commission in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or... — read more 

Who stays here just for severance pay?

I am baffled by the people who stay here just for severance pay. A colleague recently turned down a decent job at another company just because he was waiting for a package here. I mean, it’s somewhat understandable because I wouldn’t want to miss it... — read more 

Sample/ corporate store

Just out of curiosity, Is there still a Kmart & Sears sample store at the Hoffman corporate offices? What about the corporate auto center? A few posts down we confirmed that a small corporate pharmacy exists in Hoffman, any other stores for corporate... — read more 

Could Sears have been saved?

I'm concerned more about myself and looking for a new job than about the future of this company, but still I wonder if Sears could have been saved? I’m a regular cashier here and I don’t understand much of the business processes, but I’m very sorry... — read more 

Who cares?

I've been reading this forum every week because honestly it's fun to watch everyone argue but seriously who the f*ck cares about when or what store will close. All we ever do is guess and complain about when the next round is or when the company with... — read more 

A case study company?

Unfortunately, chances are that Sears will eventually turn into a case study for business schools as an example of how not to run a company and especially how not to run in times of crisis. Anyone agree that there is no better example for a case... — read more 

There are better alternatives

I see that some people here panic because of the cuts, which I can understand only to some extent because I guess no one wants to stay forever in this place stocking shelves for a minimum wage. For me, this was my temporary job and I definitely... — read more

I never thought I’d say this

I was determined to wait it out at Sears. For the past couple of years I kept thinking the end is right around the corner and it’s only a matter of months if not weeks before the whole thing is done. And yet here I am, still gainfully employed, still... — read more 

How much has the layoff complicated your life?

At one point, I thought that I would not be able to pay the bills and that I would experience a total debacle. Our children were also upset as we began to consider moving as well. Due to the large number of rejections, I thought I would never get a... — read more

Look at the pattern for the next closing round.

For those that want to know when the next closing round might be, just look at the pattern. First off, it's been made clear that the liquidators can handle multiple stores at once, so we don't have to wait till a round of closings is done before... — read more 

Who thought this could ever happen to Sears?

The ship is sinking very fast. I have to be honest, for now it’s not bad milking the unemployment. It was much worse to try to work in horrible conditions and to think that they could tell you at any moment that the store was closing and that there... — read more 

How hard are you trying to find a new job?

I’m tired of all this. I love my colleagues but I have a feeling that everyone can’t wait for our store, one of the few remaining ones, to close and go on unemployment. That’s why I hear daily speculation as to which store will be closed next. I, on... — read more
