From the looks of it, this is not the case for all locations but it is for mine. Since the change in ownership we've also had a change in management at our store and for once we've got people who care about what's going on and who want to help... —  read more

I was frustrated when I learned that not one, but several colleagues came to work even though they were positive for COVID. This is NOT OK, not only is it disrespectful to other people but dangerous too!!!!!!!!! Perhaps they're afraid they'll be... —  read more

Can you believe it? Next month will mark the 10th anniversary of the beginning of JCP’s Decade of Ruin. It all began in earnest in February 2012…with the elimination of coupons and significant cuts to staffing in most stores. Be sure to send your... —  read more 

Does anyone know if they will start mandating the vaccine? Just saw on the benefits page a message about entering your vaccination status

Just wondering if anyone knows when the referral bonus will get paid.

these sad store managers want people to come to in even if u have covid or mild symptoms with a headache, attempting to keep their stores up. It's a pandemic yalllllll.

Please JCPENNY stop making these store managers make us come to work with covid 19, example league city, people working with covid asked to come to work makes no sense to us working 😕 here.

JCPenney’s at San Jacinto Mall in Baytown has closed its doors for good. This was not unexpected. Just another in a long line of closings and it's certainly not going to be the last. I hate seeing how low JCPenny has fallen. We were once a respected... —  read more 

Looking for a new job discouraged me because I still can't find anything that would suit me better. I'm not jealous and I don't envy others but it depresses me because it seems to me that everyone else was able to find something better while I am... —  read more 

Does anyone have any info of what the new 401k safe harbor plan is, and if it's any good?

I saw somewhere that JCP will pay associates an $2 an hour for working weekends during the holidays. Do they really think that this is the same as a permanent pay increase? JCP is hopelessly screwed up.

Post any information about potential or actual JC Penney layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I'm not sure if this will mean much in the grand scheme of things, but we've been seeing increased foot traffic and, shockingly enough, increased sales to correspond to it. I know it will go down once again in January, but I'm hoping that it might... —  read more 

I'm curious if there have been some positive changes since Simon took over.

For over five years no raise, store managers allowing people to take pto and show up to work double dipping in pay, all about what you know and who you know and how can i work the system, if you want a store ran correctly hire the right person

We swear if people keep calling out at this location by baybrook mall we quitting, stressed out, manager is lazy. Make me the store manager and changes will come, where is the accountability at

If JCP truly wanted to show more focus on the customer don’t you think we’d have the payroll hours to show for it? The level of customer service has declined drastically and our customers are looking at other avenues to shop. In my opinion there is... —  read more 

This may seem a little petty, but our manager despises when we are enjoying our work. It's like everybody has to hate their lives and working here to make her happy. Of course she usually shows up in a bad mood and we purposefully get under her skin... —  read more 

When I talk to colleagues from my store, most don't care if the store closes. Of course, there is fear because our existence still depends on it, but I want to say that the motivation is low that people care less and less if the store closes... —  read more 

Any predictions on which JCPenney stores could close in the future?

We had legitimate reviews that provided us with adequate raises? Our schedules were realistic and we had appropriate time off. We weren’t overworked due to a shortage of staffing. Retail today has changed so quickly. It seems the new norm is to hire... —  read more 

We don't have an AP security person in the store most days. Is this happening everywhere or just my store?

Does anyone know whats going on in the workplace, new store managers with less experience, no leadership skills and stressing credit, lead by example, if a store manager can ask for credit i think it would inspire the rest of the employees.

I wasn’t happy and I left 3 year ago for a competitor. The culture is like night and day. There is more of an employee focus than I’ve ever experienced with JCP, which include annual raises and quarterly bonuses. Benefits are great and my coworkers... —  read more 

Hi, was anyone else laid off because their store closed in May? Did they explain why the closure was pushed back from the initially planned closure in March to May? Did you get advance notice of your termination date? Any severance?

JCP HAVE PEOPLE WEAR MASK OR ShOw vaccinated card because we all ready to quit, peopLe no mask on coughing in your face, people are rude, we ready to leave out.

Just when it seemed we were going in the right direction they start cutting hours again, and the only way to get more hours is to kiss up to the management. New changes to days when we have trucks as well.

Plenty of eliminations company wide today from ASM to field positions including specialty businesses. What a shame

Lately, I've only been worrying about waiting to hear that I am not needed anymore. I got tired of so much stress and decided not to worry at all anymore. I stopped thinking about what would happen tomorrow and instead, I sent in more job... —  read more
