Pros

Great time to be a part of JCPenney. Coming out of the turnaround and a laser like focus on key priorities. Leadership team has the right vision and is leading the way to make JCPenney the preferred retailer in the US.

Cons

Definitely change in the organization. Working there you need to be nimble and add value, no room for underperformers or slackers.

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.
