Pros

Compensation is compatible with other companies in the IT industry. J.C. Penney is still hiring IT professionals while a lot of others have downsized their workforces. Health benefits are okay if you and your family are healthy. It covers several Dr. office visits per year with no cost to you. The work environment at the headquarter in Plano is very good. It has a Fitness Center and Day Care on site. It provides associates discount program, ranging from 10 to 20%, when you shop at J.C. Penney department stores, catalogue, and JCP Direct web site.

Cons

I am still new to the company, and pretty satisfied so far with everything, i.e., work environment, management, colleagues.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
