Pros

JcPenny is a friendly enviroment and offers a great work experience. It also has great employee discounts and great deals everyday

Cons

The down sides of working for this company is the pay sucks and the head room for advancement is almost restriicted to moving to a different store. You recieve a pay raise after 90 days and its only a quarter raise. Then you have to wait for another year for the next one. How do the expect to keep good employees if they only show you that you are only worth a quarter not going to happen.

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.
