Pros

Associate discount. Good benefits unless you have an issue, beyond horrible bureaucracy.

Cons

Company wide it's a frustrating place. IE simply to try and promptly communicate. No support for the appliance supervisors. They have this wonderful thing to go and create a 2 way communication except 99.9% of the time the answer people don't have a clue. Part of running the dept is you will have to ring out customers from other dept's (kids) while you are trying to wait on your own customers all the while you and the people you supervise have metrics to hit. Or you will have your registers taken over from people coming over because in their dept the registers are broke again. The appliance dept's have had brand new printers the company cannot get to print 7 months after grand opening. Need to print appliance specs for a customer, here is an embarrassing nope... The list goes on. From being REQUIRED to steal the competitions employees so you can staff your dept. to free "setup" and delivery very poor signage verbiage, lying installers, to senior JCP back people (the few to afraid to leave) will tell you it's just a never ending cartoon and a total unnecessary one for YEARS... Store mgmt likes to whisper a lot... The morning rally meetings are especially inspiring, how many credit (ICAPS) are you going to get today? Do your homework call / ask 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.
