Macy's Reviews in Sacramento, CA Area

Pros

Macys has excellent home work balance and most direct management is willing to work with you. There is good potential to advance within the company.

Cons

Middle management has very little ability to relate to what actually happens on the selling floor. They attempt to fit each job into the same hole without good results.

Advice to Senior Management

Upper management neds to relate more with the people on the floor. Too many times directives come out which are impossible to implement because they don't apply to what is really happening.

Pros

The consistency of the day-to-day processes is among the best reasons to work for Macy's Logistics and Operations. Very rarely do things outside the norm occur. While this can seem monotonous, there is a sense of security in knowing what needs to be done and processes can be managed very effectively.

Cons

The mentality of senior management is that the higher the stress levels, the more productive managers are and they will work at artificially creating situations just to do so, usually through unrealistic service or financial goals. Retail's busy holiday season is known in advance so do not plan a life outside of work for the last fiscal quarter. Additionally, the abject fear of unions by HR leads to their continual interference in the day-to-day operations.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your managers, really listen! Facilities that consistently meet/or exceed goals do not happen by accident nor are they facilitated by just one director.

Pros

The employee discount is a benefit, especially when you get a discount on marked down prices. Since the stores are open seven days per week, there flexibility to accommodate student schedules.

Cons

Working nights and weekends could affect your social calendar. Additionally, the base pay isn't the greatest- it's not the worst either.

Advice to Senior Management

if salaries were increased, you would retain more employees
