I was recently fired from JCP for unkown reasons, I worked for over one year at the store in Conroe, Texas (north of The Woodlands)
The corporate mentality is that if you do not meet your productivity
($$$set each month by corp) you may be let go after missing three months in a 12 month perior..of course none of this was brought up in our interview or our traning. Only came to everyones attention
after one of the other commission sales associates missed hers and than we found out. This is not so bad when it stands alone but when you put it with the fact that from the store manager (Anita Corbell) to the lowest manager the attitude is train your self which I did, don't expect an ans to Emails on questions you have, dont expect a fair schedul so you can make your productivity...dont ever go to a district manager
ever for help!!! As an employee you are expected to get as many credit
applications as you can, we have qautos, get as many catalog orders as possible, capture the customers email and phone#, when you hear we have 4 and are looking for magice # 5 that means the store has 4 credit app.s and we have a speciffic goal every day..as a commission dapartment employee I was paid the mim. wage with 3%commission
on drapes. In the month of Dec. 2009 mY goal was set at $9300.00 for that month I only did $7, 000.00 in this recession...I could not transfere to an other department because according to the Assist. store manager (Joe Blauer) I have no value in any other part of the store
if I can not make my productivity. So the 17 yr at the front register
that does not show up or comes in late. or always wants the weekends off is more valauable than an adult that helped open the store hauling
boxes and freight to get the store open in Aug. of 2008 I also completely trained my self and sold more than $128000.00 work of
commission curtains in one year...I AM THE DISPOSABLE WORK FORCE MIDDLE AGE WHITE WOMEN...JCP COMPANY CREED IS;;;;
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU...BOYCOTT ALL JCPENNEYS DO UNTO THEM AS THEY HAVE DONE UNTO ITS EMPLOYEES...THE INTEREST ON A JCP CREDIT CARD WAS RAISED TO 29% ECH MONTH...THANK YOU
