JCPenney is ramping up for the 2024 holiday season, planning to hire over 10,000 seasonal employees to fill positions in its stores nationwide.

The company is hosting a national hiring event, October 16-18, in stores and online. The event is focused on hiring for truck teams in October and customer service roles specific to the holiday in November.

“Our seasonal associates play a critical role in making the holidays memorable for our customers,” said Andre Joyner, chief human resources officer for JCPenney. “Whether it is assisting customers in-store, fulfilling orders, or keeping shelves stocked, we offer flexible scheduling, employee discounts, and opportunities for temporary associates to transition to permanent roles after the season. We look forward to finding new team members that embody JCPenney’s Golden Rule – to treat others as we want to be treated.”

JCPenney offers a broad portfolio of fashion, apparel, home, beauty, and jewelry from national and private brands and provides personal services, including salon, portrait and optical. The company and its 50,000 employees worldwide serve customers at jcp.com to over 650 stores based in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
