Pros

There is good Work Life Balance and proximity to home if one lives in the the Plano/Frisco/Allen area. There are good facilities on-site like a day care, 2 restaurants etc.

Cons

There is a state of Constant Change and flux atleast at this time. That could change in the future once things settle down though.

Pros

The best part about the job was the people that I got to work with. Made a fair amount of money.

Cons

The downside of working at J.C. Penney was the constant monitoring of employees. Security always had their eye on you.
