Macy's Reviews

Pros

Macy's internship is a really good program. The pay is good, and it offers a great insight into what its like to work at Macy's. For what I saw, there was great-work life balance, and my co-workers were great.

Cons

Its not a very exciting place to work in design. For a design/fashion company, its very corporate. There wasn't much creativity or innovation involved with "designing" new products either. The entire assortment was basically determined by numbers, and all the new styles were knockoffs.

Discount was ok at 20%

Advice to Senior Management

From the private brand that I worked for, I definitely felt that the communication between and design/product & buyer needs to be improved. Macy's should also be more open to taking risks with new designs.

Pros

Discounts
Teamwork
Nice Management
Flexible attire, as long as it's 90% black... (do not have uniforms)
Household Name

Cons

They do not like to hire full time and the scheduling is a disaster. They schedule people for 3 hours a day!
