Pros

benefits if working fulltime only! some nice coworkers, you dont need to have alot of knowledge to be a superviser in this store, really!

Cons

supervisers and managers are not friendly with associates. some do not communicate with you at all even if they are your very own superviser/manager, they treat you like less, alot of the supervisers dont really know what theyre doing. jc penney hires alot of people who are lazy and dont have a nice appearance, they get fired right away!

Pros

You get to work with some great people. The schedule is flexible because of the different hours. A few genuine employees still work there.

Cons

It seems like getting ahead only happens if you are related to another employee. Employees who are incompetent are given management position because of who they are, not how they work. One manager loves abusing associates in from of customers. Even people who work there for years dont get ahead when they deserve it.
