Pros

It once recognized associates for their contributions.

Cons

The concept of JCPenney being a "new company" is great except when used as a catch phrase. It has become such an unclear statement within the organization that an associate never knows when they are a part of this “new company” or considered a relic of the past. Grids and quartiles make the decision in terms of the individuals “shelf life”.

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.
