Pros

Most customer appreciate they way are treated

Cons

They put me out on the sales floor by myself just a week and a half from my first day. I didn't feel that was enough time to have me opening by myself . Then they had the nerve to say I didn't know what I was doing and fired me. I felt like saying maybe if you trained me for a longer period of time I would know my job. Sears is a way better company to work for they reward you, appreciate disabled workers, and do a better job at training employees than jcpenney. When I tried to complain to jcpenney's hr department they said it was just because a lack of skill. But if that really was the case then why did Sears hired me for seasonal and didn't have any complaints. They only reason I didn't stay at sears is because there weren't enough hours to go around after the Christmas season.

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.
