Pros
Family atmosphere. Great employee discount. Fun work environment. Room for growth.
Cons
Fast paced and some might get lost or overwhelmed.
Continue readingPros
Generous employee discount. Flexible hours for the most part.
Cons
The pressure to get people to apply for the JCPenney credit card is not a positive part of the job. Unless you are looking for a job in which you push people to apply for things on the spot, this part of the job can feel slimy and blatantly annoying.
Pros
Great employee discount. Nice co-workers
Cons
Lack of flexibility with schedule, little room for growth
Pros
The employee discounts and first dibs on clothes.
Cons
Too much is expected. Even as a working student the managers expect too much.
Pros
coupons and employee discount is good
Cons
opened the whole day for thanksgiving
