Pros

J C Penney at least has a great name in the industry. It looks good on your resume if you decide to continue in a career in retail.

Cons

Managers have to work frequently open to close shifts. They also have the sales floor very understaffed making your job harder. Forget about having a life during the Christmas holiday season.

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.
