Quick and easy hire process. Easy to obtain employment.

Cons of working at JCPenney

Clackamas, Oregon location has an incredibly toxic work environment which is fostered and supported by Steve, the store manager and Susan, the HR manager. I told both of them how store supervisors talked rudely, unprofessional and yelled at me in front of employees and customers. Steve and Susan did nothing to address this behavior and told me they act that way because " they're young".
