RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at J. C. Penney full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Gave us a change to take classes in the building to help us enhance our position better. Managers would let us change positions in another department.
Cons
Frequent turn over with management, layoffs. Annual raises were very small. The supervisor overlooked inappropriate behaviors , even when brought to them many times.
Advice to Management
Continue opportunities for employees to take classes for advancement in our positions. I would also like to have better raises on our annual reviews.

Pros
Great company!Full benefits + some discounts.Employee appreciation days and awards were appreciated!Good chance to be hired in another state if your family had to move.
Cons
Working hours were limited , so everybody supporting their family required 2 other means of employment.I really liked the people I worked with mostly women who were heads of their households.

"Great Place to Work!"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOPros
JCP has a great atmosphere, fun to work in and gives decent pay. Great place for a summer job, just work hard and make friends and you'll do all right
Cons
Looks like it takes a while to get a promotion or a raise, you'll just have to prove your worth.
Advice to Management
Try to upgrade the technology you have in the store like the register to improve performance and customer satisfaction

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOPros
I had a fantastic boss until the store was closed and worked with a fabulous team. We worked hard but it really felt like a family until the store was closed.
Cons
The store I worked for was closed and I transferred to a store that didn't have nearly as good of a leadership team.
Advice to Management
Listen and have faith in your employees and lower management.
