Pros

There is an employee of the quarter and anyone can be nominated by other members of staff or management in private ballot. The employee's name is posted up and they receive a gift card for Penneys. It's nice to know we're rewarded for hard work. My favourite part is the opportunity to progress. After only working there a year I was offered the chance to be trained on the Customer Service Desk. Then after a year and a half I went for an interview to become a service leader which I happily got the position. It really mixes things up for me as I'm not always working on the same job and I have way more responsibilties in work. Im studying a business degree at the moment and it really contributes to my future be it with Penneys or not. The wages are also really good and increase the longer you work there as a permanent member of staff.

Cons

Managers are not always the most professional. Some tend to pick favourites and also become overly friendly with workers inside work and outside which becomes obvious in the workplace when it comes to how you might be treated as opposed to someone who they took a strong liking too.

Pros

The people I work with are friendly and we all get along and I am able to get overtime when I need it

Cons

The pay could be more, it's unfair how different stores pay different wages for the same job. The management don't seem to appreciate you if you have worked really hard. At the minute we seem to be short staffed so it feels busier.

Pros

What I can really say about this company is that they have a restaurant strictly only for staff, at affordable prices.

Cons

Don't really trust staff, especially when a staff call in sick. No provision for staff discount
