Pros

Face paced, lots of responsibility and opportunities to solve problems

Cons

No support and no rewards or positive feedback for a job well done. Loved my team but the managers are the problem. I was regularly left alone for a whole day to run four departments whilst the managers sat in their office doing paperwork and training. Managers barely did anything when they were on the floor and didn't know what they were doing. When I left I got no words of thanks or anything like that even though I worked there almost five years. Very stressful. Is more about who you are friends with then how well you can do the job when it gets to management levels. If you are committed to your job and a hard worker they will take advantage of you. So many staff in my store took time off with mental health issues due to the stress of the job and the lack of appreciation from managers.

Pros

Decent pay, respect students needs,

Cons

Management have double standards about chatting on the floor. If sales assistants start having short chats while working they are immediately reprimanded but the management think its ok for them to chat among each other. Socializing is important. The compassionate leave and pay is ridiculous. Only 3 days pay for the death of immediate family and none for grand parents which is highly unjust for the younger employees. only 4 weeks holidays per year. It is not enough

Pros

I love my job in Penneys. They are a great company to work for . Ive worked for the past 16 years in O Connell st . The treat the staff with respect most of the time.

Cons

No staff discount . Communication between management and staff is often not there. Sometimes the staff are not consulted on visual merchandising which is wrong as the staff deal with the public more then the management
