Pros

Try to make work fun by giving pizza parties, jean days, etc. PTO is nice.

Cons

I work about 70 hours a week and only get paid for 40. Not because I'm salary but because they simply don't give us enough time to do sets, coach our associates and train, take care of customer issues, fitting rooms, and recovery of the store so I go in on my day off and often work open to close while never punching in. When I approached the concerns, they said that they were letting go of a supervisor and gave me 3 departments instead. The employee discount was nice until they made the rule of unless you have a JCP card, you get a lower discount. Ridiculous if you ask me.

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.
