J.C. Penney is a Competitive and sometimes fun place to work.
Retail Sales Associate/Cashier (Current Employee) – Mesquite. TX. – January 18, 2019
J. C. Penney’s is a very fast paced business when dealing with customer’s needs and satisfaction. There are lots of incentives to have fun with everyday plans such as dressing up for particular holidays. Making each day of one week something different to wear during the Christmas holidays. There are rewards for a job well done. There are holiday meals served for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Pros
Christmas time has excellent pay potential in fine jewelry.
Cons
No room for growth. Low pay scales.

Management challenged environment.
Customer Service/Cashier (Former Employee) – Clermont, FL – January 18, 2019
The reason JCP stocks are at a all time low is they do not have any clear cut vision on who they are or where they want to go. They hire management that do not have great leadership skills and it fuels a already disgruntled employee environment. Upper management restricts the store management from being effective in merchandizing and encouraging their staff. They limit the staff hours so much that it appears to be a ghost store....or help yourself store. If they added self checkout they would be more explainable to customers that they really do not want to serve you and you should serve yourself. The great employees who do care are frustrated daily with management who shows a complete lack of knowledge or again...vision to lead. Breaks my heart but it appears JCP will be the next big store to shut its doors and management failure owns that.
Pros
100 plus year old company
Cons
Management and a complete lack of vision.
Goal accomplishment

Customer Associate (Former Employee) – Glendale, CA – January 17, 2019
I would do cashier stock pricing it was a little to slow at time but other than that it was a very good experience. I got to learn a lot there and I would advice others to go work there.
Company
Seasonal Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Rock Hill, SC – January 17, 2019
JC Penney was a horrible company to work for. I barely had any hours, and the management team was awful. They accuse you and try to fire you before they hear both sides of the story. Worst company ever.

Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Chico, CA – January 17, 2019
I value every experience as a learning experience. The JcPenny store in Chico, California is the dirtiest store I have ever been in. The fitting rooms are in need of immediate attention. I believe the dust and dirt made me sick, each shift.
Busy and Fun
Business Analyst Intern (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – January 17, 2019
I was an intern there and I worked in the backpack division where we looked at backpacks on a daily basis to see how well the sales were going as we were reaching peak season. I also helped with other various projects like allocating and competition shopping. On top of that it was really cool sitting in and participating in vendor meetings.
Pros
good pay and good environment to work
A Decent Job
Warehouse Lead (Current Employee) – Riverdale, GA – January 17, 2019

Unpredictable hours at times
