Pros

Fun co-workers and occasionally there are days where you can veer from the dress code.

Cons

Your hours depend on how many customers you get to sign up for the JCPenney credit card and how well the general manager likes you. If you struggle to get customers to sign up for the credit card, good luck on getting enough hours to to make ends meet. Management will try to train you to be manipulative with customers to get them to open up a credit card, often times with elderly customers. It's incredibly sleazy.

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.
