Pros

JCP planners and analysts are all very nice and professional. Planning directors are smart and wonderful to work with across all areas so you will love your boss. The company allows you to work from home if you align with your buying team's needs, so flexibility is wonderful. Healthcare benefits are great(Cigna). The company has a good 401k investment plan, which matches up to 6%.

Cons

The IT team is weak and it takes weeks and or even months for some systemic resolutions. The planning role is constantly changing as well as the planning systems and processes. Currently, not all systems/processes are customer-centric. The available business data has a high level of errors so you spend most of your time validating and correcting data. Planning deadlines are often difficult so you can expect to work many late nights along with some weekends.
