Sears - corporate policy complaint

I have been working for sears holdings for a while now. And I work at the kmart in fitchburg, ma. I am a good worker and follow the rules. But no matter how much I do for them or how much training and knowledge I have I will never get a raise. I was rufused a raise for being there almost 1 year and a half! There are three new associates whom has been here for about 2 months, and I just realized that I have been trainign them for nothing... They make the same pay as me, and sometimes get more hours than me!? They say it's because their new and they need to get in more hours than you. But it's been over a month! Hello!? Why should I be denied a riase... ? Well, they also said it's because they're at a pay raise freeze!? Well, I know that there are three or more associates that got their raises because they switched to a higher or other department. So why, again, should I be denied just a $0.25 raise? I mean I work two or more department myself!

Does anyone else think this is bull!?

I have tried to contact corporate but they have not replied. I have talked with my fellow associates and they all say you need a raise now!

Help me please! This is wrong!

I have been a Kmart customer for along time and i want to say that i think while the stores are nice and the inventory is good the employees at least in the one i go to are very unhelpful and dont seem to understand the importance of the customer.

I would like to speak to someone at Kmart customer service about this.

On 11/25/07 I also tried to go to kmartfeedback.com after receiving a receipt from Kmart saying you could win a $2500 gift card if you tell us about your experience; what pops up but numerous sites regarding complaints. When I entered one of the sites I realized I was not the only one who was lured to the K-Mart web site to find it down. Okay how strange is this, as I read the bottom of my receipt is states "to complete the survey you will need the 19 digit receipt number from your receipt" then farther down it states "No purchase necessary." Am I wrong to wonder if no purchase is necessary then how are you going to have the 19 digit receipt number from your receipt that it states you need to complete the survey...

Why is it that at least every month my Virus protection removes an e-mail from sears/kmart with a virus attached?

I have worked for sears for 6 years and I still make the same I started with.I have seen so many people get fired over things thats out of their control, like offering sales in every call but if they customer doesnt decide to buy it than the agent get on a performace writeup at the end of the month.(So even if the agent is doing their job and the customer declines it the AGENTS fault!) I seen a woman who worked here for almost 15 years get fired because she was short like 3 sales buy the end of the month.You get 3 writeups, step 1-then step2 then step 3, you get fired.I have never in my life worked for a cold hearted company.This is sad.Someone needs to do something about this.

I work at Kmart, have for 7 years.. I started a cashier at 16 as soon as I turned 18 they threw me up at the service desk with basically no training, no overrides and they got mad at me for calling a manager to help me with something I didn't know how to do. I just started off covering shifts and then I started getting scheduled up there. Finally I got overrides. But as a service desk person you're supposed to make 7.90 as opposed to 7.40 and I wasn't. When I confronted my manager he said there was a raise freeze. I told them I had a job offer somewhere else and I was gonna leave if he didn't give me what I earned. Got the 7.90 but only because I demanded it. Kmart is a don't ask don't tell kind of company I wish I worked somewhere else where I was appreciated enough to have more than a 10% discount

I worked at fitchburg ma. Kmart for four years.
I worked hard and came in on my days off
Never got a raise.
Workers will throw under the bus no matter how hard you work.
There's a couple of managers who are good but one makes
you feel stupid and acts like he in high school and I seen
him hide in garden warehouse drawing pictures on the
windows when he should be out in the store.
For personal reason I left and put in my two weeks notice
My advice is plan on sucking ip to this manager that I talked about
above like many of the employees do or you will get no where
here.

and glad I did now..
My best advice is try not to work here unless you can suck up
to this manager above which many employees do L refuse to
do that.
