Pros

When they were SPARC, it was a great place to work. Now it's turned into hell on earth. JCPenney had no business destroying a great company and making it a toxic cesspool.

Cons

Everything that JCPenney touched is a CON

Pros

some nice girls in the aero team. good location.

Cons

if you don't look a "certain way" they won't accept you or even hire you. i could count with one hand the amount of POC in the aero girls team (3). too many make fake people. lots of work with an unrealistic turn around time. managers were passive aggressive and withheld information from their direct reports that later would affect them. managers don't stand up for their team. if you're not white, don't apply here.

Pros

Some are able to work remote

Cons

Once they took over they change the culture and do not care about longevity employees from Sparcgroup and protect JC penny's employees
