Macy's Reviews

Pros

Discounts were good, though had to wait a while to use them

Cons

Bad hours / short term notice

Pros

The people you work with. Most came from other companies prior to Macy's purchasing them. The employees are very dedicated.

Cons

The Hours expected to work. Many long term employees feel unappreciated. Feel that company only looks at what the employee can do for them, not what they can do for the employee.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay more attention to how senior management treats direct reports. Learn to praise in public, punish in private. Many unhappy leaders in all divisions.

Pros

Good if you want a bit of extra holiday pay.

Cons

You get a sales goal every day, so it gets competitive with ringing up customers. The other sales associates acted like they were in high school - catty! I was glad to quit.

Advice to Senior Management

Maybe listen to your people!

Pros

The discount at Macy's and Bloomingdales is nice as well as being around fashion.

Cons

Hours, customers, management, pay, dresscode, being at a large corporation

Pros

Flexible hours
Awesome managers
Excellent training
Competitive salary

Cons

there are night and weekend shifts

Pros

Very convenient attendance policy. You earn points by not missing days and you can use them whenever you need to.

Cons

One Day sales are HECTIC. You will be running all over and customers will keep you busy. GO BACKS are the worst!

Pros

Career Advancement is a top priority. Value employee contributions. Flexible work schedule. Top retail employer. Great place to work. May vary by location.

Cons

Retail hours. Late nights, Black Friday craziness. Typical of all retail environment. If you like retail it's a great place to work.

Pros

Macys worked around school schedule well.

Cons

Macys management put little time or effort into training employees or even assisting when something out of the ordinary came up. As someone with a great deal of previous retail experience, I was more than capable of handling most issues but at times, some assistance was needed. Management can't condemn employees if they don't take the time to train them.

Advice to Senior Management

Train your employees. Put customers first - ALWAYS.

Pros

Pay was better than some office jobs I've worked in. Manager was very appreciative of all my hard work. Overtime was offered during the holidays. Very active job.

Cons

Its retail. No downtime. Always on the go. If in a mall you feel like you are stuck in a dungeon. Retail in general is nuts between the hours, no benefits, and no growth opportunities. Discount stinks and you have to have a macys CC or buy a prepaid card to get discount.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep the visual shop more organized.

Pros

You're able to manage your schedule online which allows you to pick up or give away hours very easily.

Cons

Macy's seems to be more concerned with sales than customer care which makes it hard.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to get corporate to allow for more hours so that Macy's doesnt look like ROSS.
