Pros

Jcpenney used to offer good benefits, that is why I chose to work there. They have updated their image as best they can, but its still a joke.

Cons

Salon manager and receptionists have blatant favoritism If you transfer to another store from out of state jcpenney treats you terrible. They will only give you 2-3 day work weeks, will not give you any customers so you will sit all day and not make any money. Making the stylists go out into the store and bothering customers who are shopping by handing out coupons or free services. Rude,cheap customers with unrealistic expectations. No back up from manager. Stylists are expected to rebook 50% of customers for next appointment before checkout or will not be given any new customers, even though 50% of 0 is ZERO. Some co workers are nice, but most are horrible insecure lowlifes who hate new employees and will do anything to make them quit or get fired.

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Cons

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
