Recovery Associate (Volt alkalmazott) – New Braunfels, TX – 2019, november 19.
it was my first and only job so i dont have much to base it off of, but overall it wasn't bad. there were a few rumors that i got called in for (none of them true) but other than that everyone seemed to be really nice and willing to help
Management was horrible. Anytime you would call for assistances no one would show up for at least 10-20 minutes. Customers were getting angry with me because of a purchase I couldn't handle myself.
I loved working at JcPenny! The people were super friendly and the work was easy. I loved making credit apps and enjoyed working the busy holiday season. I think I was getting paid fair for retail but the only down flaw is the hours. On slow months like January some employees would get 0-10 hours. On the other hand that makes it a super flexible work place and a great second job!
I was hired at JCPenney as a Temporary Operations Associate in their recovery team. I enjoyed the work, as I like tidying up and organizing. However, it was clear that the store wanted to get by on as little staff as possible. Fixing certain clothing displays could be a multi-day project.
Training and supervision was also rather minimal. Customers would approach me asking about certain items and stock and I would not have the information to meaningfully assist them, and would often direct them to the back counter where a cashier could help them find the item online.
Communication of expectations was also iffy. I was surprised to learn I was essentially being let go after only a month on the team, as I was a seasonal hire for back to school. My manager also seemed to be unaware of this information, which I only received after asking the HR Manager about my schedule.
For positives, JCPenney offers lots of great benefits if you aren't seasonal or temporary, and requesting time off or changes to your schedule is very easy.
worked different hours mostly early opening store and stocking shelves, learned pricing and working different areas of the store from creating visions to dressing mannequins. assisting customers etc
Good Environment and friendly people but not very focused around work. leadership roles and job raises are not easily acessable. very relaxed but a strict dresscode is not very enforced
JCPenney offered a very friendly work environment and provided flexible part-time hours and overall decent pay for the work. Leadership team was very helpful.
The atmosphere was very chill coworkers were easy to get along with the discounts were very reasonable, specially for sephora the managers were understanding there was always sale and discounts the hardest part of the job has to be the no minimum policy for the fitting rooms
This job is ok, but I'm looking for more hours and better pay and more flexibility. I have a lot of experience in management, retail, customer service and sales and I don't get the shifts and departments I would like.
My priority is assisting customers and stocking and straightening merchandise between customers.
I like my co-workers and enjoy helping customers.

Work shifts and departments I don't really care to, but I work what is given to me.
Fun working environment but poor pay and no benefits. Many employees don't last more that couple of months. Inconsistency with prices of products. Lack of communication between supervisors.

Management was like High-School Cliques, the work was ok, most customers were polite, and the coworkers were pretty friendly. Definitely one of the better ways to work in retail.
Both stores were nice to work at and built the same way just at one i had more responsibility and could work at the register. The other i had to be told what to do by a person who did nothing as well and did not follow the rules and regulations of the store. Both managers were nice but one they were active and walked around and other you only say before shift and after.
I started working there after we transfered back to Texas because my mother got a job at JCPenney as a salon manager. I know not all of them are alike, but this one was ridiculous. The management doesn't care about you, you're just a number. They want to pay you dirt cheap for a job that you pretty much take a beating for when it comes to the rude and messy customers. I've seen grown women cry because it was just that intense sometimes.
Meeting and assisting customers with jewelry purchases.
Learned about selling techniques of fine jewelry and the advantages of selecting one diamond/gemstone over another.
Managers/employee's are currently being re-titled and educated in response to how to better meet customers needs while cross training and making JCPenney the number #1 department store.
I enjoy being a part of a team with my co-workers to accomplish the best over all serivce for our customers.
The hardest part of my job is the requirement to offer each customer a credit pitch for a new credit card and service plan for thier jewelry purchase. It's not the pitch itself but the importance of pushing this as part of my performance review when I feel I have limited customers who may already have credit cards or not interested at all. The same goes for the service plans for the jewelry purchase. I feel when I have to push this so hard to accomplish a personal goal that is almost impossible to meet then it becomes about what the customer can do for me instead of what I can do for the customer.
Fun opportunity to assist customers for all occasion gift buying. Selling fine jewelry is all about celebrations!
Note: I was unable to properly rate my company with the stars. When I clicked on more than one star per row it removed the first hi-lighted star.

long shifts on your feet, working weekends, and holidays. low wages.
I started my day by opening the cash register, and making certain money was correct, made certain everything was stocked from the night before. I told my customers about all sales we were having, and sold shoes. Set up displays as needed.
