Pros

Like that it's 1st shift, weekends off during non-peak seasons, okay discount, good friends and co workers, varied tasks so I wasn't too bored, and fairly flexible during non-peak seasons.

Cons

The pay, not knowing how long you're going to work or how late you have to stay to finish your work, the holiday season, incompetent managers/supervisors, lack of communication or lack of action between employees. I don't understand why the company continues to do some of the things they do. Also, products are marked up to an extreme. JCP gets brand new products with a price tag of say 100 bucks, and they are immediately marked down, 50 percent off, to 50 bucks. That's how they drive sales.
