JCPenney Careers and Employment

I worked as a cashier for little over a year and quit because it rarely worked with my school schedule. I would let the managers know ahead of time if I have an exam or something important for school; however, my schedule will still show I would have to clock in. Alongside of this, hours were so rare to get. Its good seasonally because I got hours left and right without it affecting school. But right when it hit Jan 1, I worked one 4 hour shift every other week or sometimes until the following month. I was a pretty good associate, I got credits every shift and did what I was told, but still I rarely got hours. Other than that, the coworkers were really rude when I first started and kissed up a lot to the managers-- very two-faced.

Ensure management is communicating policies with one another to avoid issues. Pay employees a liveable wage. Stop basing all praise/success/focus on credit card applications.

Discount was always 25% with an additional 15 to 20% during friends and family sales discounts don’t get much better than that on already reasonably priced items!. ( Former employee)

When I worked for jc Penney I got paid 2x a month alot better than the job that I had before JC Penney I loved it and still do. You can actually pay bills

Yes, you get $2 whether they get approved or not. My store also gives out candy!

Not fair every one weekly pay

I applied online and recieved a call the next day, I believe. The phone interview was mainly to see how you are and why you applied to the store-- very basic questions haha. Then I was scheduled for a group interview the following day. Though I was late, I got the job as I got into the car to go back home. The group interview was discussing your schedule, resume, and just how you are as a person. It was very interesting! I dont know how the interviews are set now, but i recommend applying online and letting a manager know :)

Go online and apply!

Business casual M-Th Fri red shirt and black slacks, Sat and Sun red shirt and jeans are an option

Yes i was drug tested during the interview process for the beauty department as a lisenced cosmetologist back in 1998. I believe they still do test. Cant say 100% sure.

No, they not.

JC Penney does NOT drug test. I've been here for 2 years.
