Pros

I liked my coworkers and supervisor. We had so much fun while working. Job security and work hours are consistent.

Cons

There is no room for advancemment. Most managers stay at the store for years so very few opportunities for sales associates to promote up.

A pro to working at JCP is that they work with my school schedule and I get a discount when I shop

Cons

One CON is that the mangers are really slow are upset about when you need to take off for school related things
