Pros

To gain some work experience helping customers, sales, cash handling, and maintenance of merchandise on the floor, and get a discount on merchandise. Over all this company is a good retail store to work for. Great people to work with.

Cons

Paid minimum wage. Heavy emphasis on signing customers up for JC Penney Charge Cards.

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.
