I loved working there until I realized my experience was only good on paper!! I cannot wait to get back!

Former Employee – worked at J. C. Penney

ProsThe discount
The people
The customers
Floor sets were fun always a blast.

ConsThe pay structure is not the best. That is being polite.
New people were making more than people who have been there for years.
There was no system in place to properly communicate to the associates at the start of there shift.
Even after training you feel thrown to the wolves.
Supervisors have favorites and are buddy buddy.
The entire management team was inconsistent and angry.

Advice to Senior ManagementDepartments should be more like separate stores letting supervisors have more control of them.
Management team needs to be more accountable for there departments and lead their people.
Has anyone ever coached on greeting, I have never been greeted since i left.
Hire the best and pay them the best.
Help them Ron, you are their only hope!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
