Pros

Great people to work with and for, solid company to work with and for, decent benefits. I've worked at other retailers, JCP best by far.

Cons

There really is not too many downsides, sure, the hours at holiday are long, but they are everywhere in the industry. Over all if you are lucky enough to have a great manager it is a really good place to work.

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.
