Pros

JCP is overall a great place to work. They have a way of making there employees feel like everybody is one big family. Management always makes you feel like you make a difference in the company and within the store. Also, compared to other supervisor positions at different companys, JCP pay pretty well.

Cons

JCP asks a lot of their supervisors and employees; sometimes too much. It's a challenge but one will worth it. JCP has implemented a lot of different programs that sometimes feel like are un-acheivable. However the programs all have great intentions.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
