J. C. Penney Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Charitable somewhat but morale is down

Nothing, sadly. Everything is run down and broken there

I could work without being watched or micro managed

Review from Operations Dept

When I can actually work on my work and not just do other people's. When I get to actually help a customer.

Me and my personal happiness

Review from Product Dept

Everyone is atleast supportive of each other

When I raise an issue with my boss she takes action

Everyone is included and welcome

We "work together" to finish to job.

People in some locations are awesome

Greeting team members and break.

Good safe place to work

The great rapport employees on the same level have with each other

Review from Operations Dept

I like how everyone works as a team

That is a Mexican region and its nice to speak, read, write, and transltate the language. To be able to relate with them

Leatning eachother and able to take something away that will benefit you in being successful.

Review from Sales Dept

Very good .place but now no worked

We are offered wellness days around the holidays so instead of having one day off, we get a 4 day weekend

The team atmosphere and friendships at work

We are all friends/family so its a very comfortable environment

Review from Customer Support Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Focus on positivity, acknowledge hard work and reward it.

Less hostility in the work place.

Fairness. At each meeting, we are told that if we don't make our Icap goal we can look for cut hrs or layoffs. so depressing when we see how the economy is still slow and other stores are in the same pickle. It's a downer to hear nothing positive to start your day and no add'l help when needed.

Review from Sales Dept

Really bad middle management in place

Customers should not be allowed to humiliate the employees and be backed up by the boss.

Review from Sales Dept

Appreciation of employees... I don't think they realize that's a major factor...and also offer more promotions... there's a reason why Kohl's isn't going to close down any time soon...

Review from Customer Support Dept

More appreciation for me and my coworkers that actually work

Review from Operations Dept

Better pay, better management, better hours

Review from Sales Dept

managers are fake and talk about others behind there back

Review from Sales Dept

I believe that opening up more checkout registers would be a great idea. It will help to cut down on the long lines.

Review from Sales Dept

The company needs to communicate; to make a realistic comeback would take a monumental effort.

Review from Operations Dept

Managers need to hold associates responsible for their job duties not getting done instead of making the person that finished their job do someone else’s too

Review from Sales Dept

more involement from the leadership team

Review from Sales Dept

I have no clue. Play a variety of music in the store.

They need to schedule and hire more people

Focus on the positives, instead of all the negatives
