"I had a great time at JC Penney, the co-workers are extremely helpful and everyone will help you with your training. My only complaint is that sometimes the management is not as organized as it could have been."
"I worked for JC Penney in the late 90's as a second job to save money for a down payment on a house. I returned to JC Penney in the summer of 2013. I am happy to work there and to learn about retail sales and customer support in the sales area. This is a good company to work for although this is not within my career goals or experience. I am respected by peers and appreciated by management."
