Pros

I have worked at many JCP stores across the country and every store made me feel welcome. It was almost a family environment. There are many long term associates that empower that family atmosphere. The pay scale for management associates was very good.

Cons

The district manager of the last store I worked at always looked outside the company for filling positions. There were many qualified management associates that excelled at their current job who should have been interviewed and considered for the open position. The company's current stance on "You must be relocatable to be considered for promotion".
