Current Employee – been working at Macy's full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great vacation
Decent flexibility and work/life balance February-September

Cons – Politics - Sales managers do not work as a team but instead compete
Compensation increase is merit based, but the measure of success can be outside of sales manager's control and furthers the competition v team work.
No cost of living increase
No work/life balance October-January
Not enough authority to do my job: no control over direct report's pay or schedule
Often have to work extra hours with little notice
Must be very patient for growth opportunities
Not must chance for salary increases, only yearly performance review.

Advice to Senior Management – Increase in compensation should have an automatic cost of living included, and merit based more on personality and talent development than $ results to plan.
