Where exactly will that money come from? They'll have to make up for it somehow. Guess who'll be first on the list of casualties?

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

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 

Is my store doomed?

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

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.

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

I worked there for over a decade and I watched it crumble around me. I finally left before giving them the chance to "eliminate" my position. The corporate culture at JCP is based on FEAR, INTIMIDATION and BULLYING and it comes from the top down... —  read more

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 

the promotion was given to a person you often helped to do the job?

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 

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 

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

I am aware that employees cannot do much to keep their jobs here and that everyone’s motivation is zero. However, this negative condition is literally contagious. I try my best to do what I can while I’m still here and not despair, but it’s very... —  read more 

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 

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.

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.
