Competitive yet relaxed.
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – North Bend, OR – April 24, 2018
Hardest part of the job had to be making the credit "goals" as the store located here was placed off of the main road so our customers tended to be repeat customers, whom already had credit lines open with the company.
pro
Manager (Current Employee) – Lakewood, CA – April 24, 2018
I would come into work, have meetings, prepare what I needed for the day. Sometimes there was more to do then there is time. The company expects so much with little to no help at all and giving each store little hour for associates.
Pros
discount
Cons
long hours
Very relaxed environment

Pros
Scheduling
Cons
Hours
Very easy to learn required skills
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Williamston, SC – April 23, 2018
My time at JCPenney was a huge learning experience. I was able to learn basic skills, such as operating a cash register, very quickly because of the welcoming environment. I was put to work almost immediately and help was provided to me when needed. Everything was very clear, and I was never unsure about what my job was for the day. I think that this job was a very good job to have for my first job. Now I can say that I have experience in retail, which helps in acquiring future employment.
Pros
paid very well, fun environment
Cons
some employees were unprofessional and rude
JCPenney
SENIOR LOSS PREVENTION MANAGER (Former Employee) – Calumet City, IL – April 23, 2018
I wouldn't recommend anyone join this workforce as JCPenney is closing most if not all of the stores they have due to slowly going out of business. Work life at the stores are very stressful as you repeat your steps and job duties over and over again.
Personal reasons y I left

Productive fun place
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Mobile, AL – April 23, 2018
I enjoyed my time working for the company. We were like a little family in our department we were actually a team and had each others back. Not quite sure how it is now but from my experience I would recommend them to work there.
Quick-paced job but with great managment
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Cape Girardeau, MO – April 23, 2018
At JCPenney, there are a lot of responsibilities. An associate has to clean out fitting rooms, greet customers, assist them in finding merchandise, clean off floors, fold clothes, hang them up, and put them in their respective location, check customers out, assist with credit card applications, and perform online orders in the store. While the list of responsibilities is a long one, the exciting people and amazing management makes the work environment much more enjoyable. Working here is hectic at times, but being able to help others find things that they love is something that I really love to do.
Pros
Great management, fun coworkers, competitive environment
Cons
Stressful at times, inconsistent scheduling
Great job
Department Supervisor (Former Employee) – Sikeston, MO – April 23, 2018
JcPenneys to me is a team that works together. Everyday is a new experience you relate to customers and I love the public. Yes there is a lot of changes daily and even more things to keep up with as you make your work environment look presentable and up selling is a must
Pros
enjoyable work atmosphere
Cons
working nights and weekends

Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Peabody, MA – April 23, 2018
the customers where good, management was another matter. they played favorites all the time, usually the ones with attitude got all the praise, and the ones that worked hard got worked harder .
fast paced
cashier (Current Employee) – Northridge, CA – April 23, 2018
Omni dept is the only dept which is fun, enjoyable and able to have a stress free day in retail. cashiering is the most difficult aspect of retail but if you are just looking for a job this is the right place to work while your are doing school.
