"I’ve worked for JCPenney for about a year and a half. I’ve enjoyed my time there but feel like I have learned a lot and am ready to take the next step in my career. I unfortunately feel like the company itself is not the right fit for me as they are making changes due to the company overall not doing well."

"JCPenney can be a great entry-level environment, but it’s not the best paying job. JCPenney feels like a family however, I feel as though the company should offer higher benefits and more respect to employees. The employees work extremely hard and we often get mistreated or overlooked by the company. The job itself is extremely easy and fun to work, especially with other employees."

"JC Penney is a company going downhill. Their employment strategies are reactive to the rest of the market. Don't expect a straight answer from anybody. If you can deal with corporate frustration somewhere else, you can deal with it here, however."
