JCPenney Employer Reviews

overall jcpenney is a great place to work at. Co workers and management are great everyone is friendly you can always go to them for any questions or concerns. We give great customer service we make sure all our customers are taken care of and recieve great customer service.

No room for advancement, no benefits, no full time but expected to work weekends and holidays. I spent many years of working on Christmas Eve and others got it off.

A day at work consisted of ringing up customers, checking fitting rooms, returns and ordering items online for customers if we didn't have the item in stock. At closing we had to recover the store. That was a major flaw at that store because it was a model store eveything had to be picked up organized and folded no can leave untill the entire store – more... was clean. So if you were closing you had to stay beyond your scheduled shift. Working here is like working with family eveyone gets along I made a lot of great friends here. Management was ok they were there for you when you needed them. – less

I learned how to handle difficult situations and how to use a cash register. My co-workers were very helpful. The hardest part of my job was not having anything to do! The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to interact with the customers.

• Improved the everyday environment of the store by keeping it clean and assisting customers

Overall, J.C. Penney was a flexible/ convenient place to work. There was not many ways in which to move up and the pay was not the best, but it was a good place to work.

Everyday at JCPenny was awesome! I learned how to deal with customers at their worst. Management was always there when you needed them. My co-workers were cooperative. There was no hard part of the job. The most enjoyable part of the job was reaching our sales goal!

Very unprofessional company, very unorganized. The most enjoyable part of this job was giving customers my service.

Giving good customer service, cleaning fitting rooms, straightening merchandise, and placing online purchases for customers were daily tasks at work. I learned that this was a good job to advance at if at all possible. Management was good and handled there jobs well. Co-workers were great work friends and we had fun with each other. The hardest part – more... of this job was watching customers mess up the clothes you just straightened two seconds ago. The most enjoyable part was getting to know the regular customers that came in on a weekly basis. – less

I like working at JCP but I need more hours and I wish the management team was better.

J.C. Penney has a relaxing work environment with a customer friendly staff. The management was good with producing schedules and handling difficult customers.

A typical day as the Support Expert is scheduled start is at 6am, trucks pull up to the dock at 6:30am. My team starts to unload pallets between 6 and 28 and then we start to organize the hung apparel. My team gets this completed in approximately 5 hours then it is taken to the sales floor. While the team is taking racks and cages to the sales floor – more... I am getting ready for the next days truck with prepping what goes back to the dc. I am also managing dot com orders with checking them in, organizing them into there bins and then entering them so the automated dialer can call the customer to know there order has arrived. I am then organizing damages and liquidation products preparing these items to be returned. In the afternoon we receive Fed EX and UPS separating and NFS items and delivering to different departments. Key items such as jewelry has to be secured and checked then delivered to the department. On the days we do not get trucks my responsibility is to prepare returns in jewelry and other goods. In jewelry this includes making photo copies of the item, logging it, entering it on UPS for pickup and securing until the UPS carrier arrives. My day usually ends around 3:30. – less

I enjoyed working for the company because of the people that I worked with. The work was tedious. I like how flexible the company was with school and other things that may come up through out life.

The day will fly real fast and will attend customers with high standard of communication and managers work great with our work schedule.
