JCPenney reviews

Equipment and facilities are old. No clear vision. Unrealistic expectations. No clear boundaries between IT, Maintenance, and Engineering. No standard operating procedure for equipment maintenance. Poor training resources. Blame game is the end all, be all...

Well the company can't make a profit and if you have to run one you will understand why. Huge shipments of ridiculous merchandise that will eventually require an hour of payroll ($8.50) per shirt to keep clearance marked and organized through out it's life. I.E. no bonuses. You will probably also notice you burn 10-20 hours of payroll (that you don't have for core process) on some zaney project via HQ just to have it generate no revenue let alone any profit. The lack of profit has led to a hard line management regime to ensure process is running to the way JCPenney wants it thinking it's the stores fault for the company not being able to make money. This is all happening in the middle of a general recession no one wants to acknowledge as well. So what I'm saying is don't expect any high fives and do expect to not know what might happen to your job or store come February. They are pretty loosey goosey with HR. If they want you gone they will fit what they can around your neck and enact the full force of "up to termination".
