Pros
• Nice facilities • Casual dress code • The people are easy to get along with
Cons
• Company has a tendency to underutilize talent causing people to become stale, and skills to atrophy. This is a problem once its time to find work elsewhere because proprietary JCPenney production tasks are not relevant or useful outside JCPenney. • Once you're underutilized, it's very hard to make a case for a raise or bonus. Also, the company recently changed bonus policy so that people only get bonuses if the company is "successful" regardless of the individual's contributions, long hours, etc. • Company tends to misrepresent (or flat out lie) about job description during the hiring process. Then once you're employed there, you're doing something you're either over-qualified for, or completely untrained in. This leads to the issues stated above.
