Pros

If you work at Penneys they will be flexible with your schedule especially when in school. The jobs are not very complicated.

Cons

It is often understaffed, so you're stuck doing the work 3 people should be handling. Then management gets disappointed. Also, they do want you to get a certain amount of credit apps every week. You also have certain holidays everyone must work on including Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Customers constantly ask if the store is closing.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
