It was better when I started. The moral was much better. Over the past year with management changes, not good. - Anonymous employee JCPenney Employee Review

Pros

Limited Insurance plan for part-time associates. Some insurance is better than no insurance.

Cons

Reduction of hours, very unpredictable. Unless you have another job, it would be very difficult to support a family on 4-8 hours per week.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
