JC Penny is an institution, I shop there quite often and I love the pricing and the way the stores are set up.

Why is everyone always picking on Walmart? I work there in management and its not the associates that make it a hard company to like its the upper management that suck in many cases. They need to concentrate on the customers like it used to be, put the security back in the stores and the corporate Dogs need to not fix what wasn't broken in the first place. the greedy bastards are more worried about their paycheck and not worried about the customers.

I guess dish sucks, but DirecTV is very good. We almost never lost the signal, but now with xfinity the picture goes in and out all the time. Then they play these stupid commercials saying satellite dishes need to be adjusted a lot, the guy put ours up and the only time I had to touch it was to clear snow a couple years ago. We should go back to DirecTV, they left the dish out there.

What? No media companies? What companies ignore their basic reason to be in business more than the media? They dont even pretend to research and report the news.

Apparently the people in this survey never dealt with Ebay. You couldn't find a more ****, arrogant self serving company if you spent a lifetime looking.

Course to unstained hating Wal-Mart. You would have to live in a small town that put a lot of your Family and friends out of business. Receive all tax credits that Mom and Pop business could never get from towns and states. People shop there only because there cheap. I don't shop there because I know there cheap. They through there money over seas buying there products to make profits out the roof. Instead of putting it back in the communities they still it from. OOOOOO by the way before anyone try to defend there asses there family holds 4 of the top 10 most richest in the good old USA.

I'm sorry but AT&T and Time Warner Cable have to beat JCP and Dish.

Where's Microsoft on this list?  From an investment perspective, the stock yields nothing and their products have fallen into extreme mediocrity while companies like Apple and Google have surpassed them.
