J. C. Penney Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 149 reviews
Overall, at the location I work for, I would say we cultivate a great work environment and each of the employees is very sociable and easy to work with. The management team is one of the best I've ever worked with and I often connect with each of the managers. Although I do struggle with the company itself sometimes, the workplace environment at my department store often cultivates a great environment that keeps people at the store!
My official job title is Sales Floor Assistant. I love the work I do and the format/routine of our duties. I was able to move up in leadership fairly quickly (I love being a part of leadership). Merchandising is fun and allows for creativity (with guidelines), and I really enjoy working with customers and associates. The problem I experience is with childish and unprofessional behavior from others in management (including the GM), which has made me seriously unhappy. If it were not for that and how un-corrected that has been despite reports, I would be completely content and happy with my career there.
I had an amazing experience working for the salon inside Jcpenney. I was a receptionist for almost 2 years, and left due to me moving. I loved the relationships I created here, the skills I learned, the confidence I gained, and the support from the stylists was more than I ever imagined. However management has always been an issue. The manager who hired me didn't do a proper interview or training, and didn't do a majority of his job which left us feeling stranded and confused. After he left we had no manager for about 5 months which was affected even moreso by the pandemic and not knowing proper covid policies. We got a new manager, but she also is unfit and has a bad attitude in the workplace including favoritism and speaking inappropriately. I stayed because I loved my coworkers, but if it weren't for them I would've left long before I did. Easy job usually with some exceptions, low pay and no set schedule.
