Pros

If you like talking with people and meeting new peopel JCP is the place to be. Customers are from every aspect of life and helping them find something can be very rewarding. Being the first to grabt he amazing clearance deals with your 20% (25% if you reach all star status) if also fun. There are also many ways to get 5 dollar customer first certificates which give an additional 5 dollars off of a purchase.

Cons

Health issuance options are a joke. 2000 dollar dedectable? Give me a break. The 5 dollar CFC are taxed and the overtime and benefit rate for commission associates is terrible.

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.
