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.
