JCPenney reviews

boring...very boring.. quiet dead job. Management had weird people. Some of the people were inappropriate for the work environment. Did NOT like their information system/register software.

It is still retail, so you're on your feet a lot and ringing up customers from other departments. We were expected to make high sales, yet we were required to spend time ringing up customers buying clothes and other items which did not count towards our sales. The commission was also not very good. Usually it would work out to be a few dollars an hour above minimum wage. Due to the nature of commission sales, my co-workers would often get competitive and even catty. There was a lot of gossiping and complaining about "stealing" customers from each other. Each week our sales were ranked in order by the managers, so there was a lot of pressure to compete with each other. We were also always required to work both Saturday and Sunday. It was very difficult to get those days off. This is why it might be a good job for a college student, which was my situation while working there.
