Pros

J C Penney at least has a great name in the industry. It looks good on your resume if you decide to continue in a career in retail.

Cons

Managers have to work frequently open to close shifts. They also have the sales floor very understaffed making your job harder. Forget about having a life during the Christmas holiday season.
