Pros
The JC Penney associate discount, nice coworkers and manager, photographing people is sometimes fun, making customers happy with your work.
Cons
It's more of a sales job than photography, except there is NO commission other than a crappy $4 for selling a ridiculous overpriced media bundle that no one buys. Insulting minimum wage pay even for a college grad with photography experience. Way too much pressure to swindle customers just to increase sales- with absolutely no reward or incentive for the employee. It's actually horrendous how much they charge for pictures while paying their employees the bottom of the barrel scraps. You might as well work for JC Penney as a cashier and do a fraction of the work for $8 an hour.
