Pros

401k match, no interest loan program, many training and development tools offered ( but store levels don't believe in scheduling time to get training completed)

Cons

terrible benefits, not pay for performance(pay sucks), work life balance (store level issue), lack of training (store level issue) Been working for this company for over 10 years, no matter the store and store manager, they just don't believe in providing the necessary training needed to be effective within your first 45 days. Its a shame some store don't run their stores that way the company expects them to be run. Jcpenney really has thought everything out and have laid the foundation for stores to run smooth, store management is the issue.

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.
