Pros

What I really liked is that we got an Employee discount. One thing for sure is that I learned how to work on a fast pace seasonal and I learned a lot about customer service.

Cons

I worked seasonal. I loved seasonal because it got packed. But the staff were very competitive when it came up with getting bonuses. I was new so I was about to run a credit check for someone who wanted to get a JCP credit card. And even if they are not approved you still get a bonus for running it, but my team member snatched my customer after I already grabbed their ID. I was new so I was just taken back a little and let it slide. But the older team members did this to other new members that I thought was not very team effort.

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.
