Pros

Excellent Benefits ( Insurance and others) Lot of Events and celebrations

Cons

Lack of proper management If your Sr. Manager has decided to throw you then he wont need proper justification. Leaders only follow to Sr. Managers and doesn’t use their brain. JCPenney India location is known as GIC (Global Information Center) but looks like the Leaders in India are always looking for an opportuinity to Impress people of Plano (Head Office). No matter what role they are in. India leaders can go any extent inorder to Please plano people. India leaders can also ignore processes and best practices to please plano people. Lot of additional and unwanted Hierarchy.
