Pros

JCPenney used to be such a great place to work. Some of the best people I've ever worked with. Sadly, many have left or been let go.

Cons

Lots of layoffs, and positions not backfilled, so you are constantly being asked to do more work, with less resources. Flexibility was the best, but now requiring return to office. Not much left to appreciate.

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.
