Pros

Most customer appreciate they way are treated

Cons

They put me out on the sales floor by myself just a week and a half from my first day. I didn't feel that was enough time to have me opening by myself . Then they had the nerve to say I didn't know what I was doing and fired me. I felt like saying maybe if you trained me for a longer period of time I would know my job. Sears is a way better company to work for they reward you, appreciate disabled workers, and do a better job at training employees than jcpenney. When I tried to complain to jcpenney's hr department they said it was just because a lack of skill. But if that really was the case then why did Sears hired me for seasonal and didn't have any complaints. They only reason I didn't stay at sears is because there weren't enough hours to go around after the Christmas season.
