Pros

-Great teams to work with. Large company (smaller now) with lots of different categories to work with. -Above average compensation and benefits package for retail. -I would put JCP as one of the more family oriented retail companies. Every area of the company is different but each area I worked in supported good work life balance. -Company was trying to become more flexible in terms of working from home etc.

Cons

-Excessive turnover in top management made for strategic disconnects over past 10 years. This translated into unclear and ever changing goals and objectives for corporate office and stores. Even for an industry that needs to adapt to change my experience was that big strategic plans changed too often. -
