What are perks and other benefits like at Macy's?

Flexible hybrid schedule, fair pair, good benefits, centrally located office space, opportunities to go shopping out in the city

No room for growth- assistants tend to stay assistants for years and do not get pay increases or promotions internally

Leadership Opportunities: As a store manager, you have significant opportunities to lead and develop a team, influence store operations, and make strategic decisions that impact the store’s success. Employee Benefits: Macy's offers competitive benefits for their store managers, including health insurance, retirement plans, and employee discounts. These benefits can be quite attractive compared to other retail positions.

The role can be highly stressful, with responsibilities like meeting sales targets, managing staff, and handling customer complaints. The pressure can intensify during peak seasons like holidays. Macy's has been undergoing significant organizational changes, including the migration from large department stores to smaller format locations. This shift often entails lower salaries and increased responsibilities for store managers. Moreover, Macy's is shrinking its physical footprint, with plans to close over 150 stores in the coming years. This reduction further complicates the role of store managers, who must navigate these closures while striving to maintain customer service and operational efficiency amid a potentially dwindling set of resources and increased job uncertainty.

Not a customer service position

No raise , no benefits, and useless union

Good benefits and room for advancement

Overtime is seasonal in retail

I love working here. I really didn’t know I would. The GM is young and she cares a great deal about the culture of the store, to the point that SHE is on the floor working along side general colleagues and her management team. There are complaints in any retail position; the benefits work for me, the discount is great and I love my co-workers

This is a retail job; it is physical and it can be tiring to be on your feet moving all day.

Macy's does its best to empower employees. The benefits are good and the team is extremely welcoming to new recruits.

It is difficult to acquire pay increases at the company.

Great benefits and flexibility with schedule

Hard to move up so many positions but so many employees

structured teams, well-known training program in the industry, exposure to retail fashion brands

some applications are old, not a lot of benefits, work life balance (depending on which teams you're on)

Good benefits and working culture

Not enough shifts are offered

Good benefits, nice work environment, friendly coworkers

Their management doesn't feel adequate enough and tend to be lacking in people skills.
