What don't you like about working at JC Penney?

"The paper work is just crazy. When you first get hired they will promise you that they are currently working on getting laptops for the decorators to cut down on the paperwork, but I started with them in 2007 and almost 4 years later they are still stringing poor hopeful decorators along with that lie. They claim that they are trying to work out the kinks in the software but many companies have much more complicated software needs than they do and somehow they figured it out. It's just insultating the inteligence of the decorators to constantly lie to them like that. Also the job security id so good because they have such a hard time keeping up with the number of decorators quitting that they won't dare fire you."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would suggest that they be honest with new hires about what to expect with this job."
