Pros

I have worked at many JCP stores across the country and every store made me feel welcome. It was almost a family environment. There are many long term associates that empower that family atmosphere. The pay scale for management associates was very good.

Cons

The district manager of the last store I worked at always looked outside the company for filling positions. There were many qualified management associates that excelled at their current job who should have been interviewed and considered for the open position. The company's current stance on "You must be relocatable to be considered for promotion".

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.
