Pros

It's a nice place to begin in retail, great co-workers, acceptable policies, nice products, decent starting wage... Just use this as a stepping stone in the Retail Business.

Cons

The management sucks in the store i worked at, which pretty much ruined my experience at JCP. Not a great place for teen's to work because you get looked down upon by older co-workers and managers, the boss will move you around to different departments that you may not approve of... like hire you as a sales associate in the men's department and then deicde to put you in package pickup, so that you can lug 100+ pd. boxes around!

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.
