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
