Pros

There is NOTHING positive about Macy's. This company reaches a new low each year in regards to its treatment of its employees.

Cons

1. Systematically forcing out employees who are aged 50 and older. They individually tailor their harassment campaign to make it difficult to prove harassment based upon age 2. Don't ever give them any personal information i.e. how many children you have, your hobbies or interests. They will later try to use it against you. 3.This company has consistently become worst each year since it changed from being Rich's Department Store. 4. Sales and support staff are paid so poorly that at one point phone numbers for social service agencies were posted in the employee break room. Meanwhile the CEO receives a 7 million dollar bonus. 5. The employee break room is roach infested, dirty, and lacking ventilation. 6. During the summer months the inside temperatures in many departments reached 80 degrees. 7. Religious intolerance if you work in a Macy's in the bible belt. If your belief system happens to be Pagan or Wicca be prepared to face severe harassment especially during the Christmas holiday season. 8. Harassment and Bullying seem to be an iatrical part of Macy's business philosophy.

Pros

you get ok pto even as a part timer, not physically demanding, good A/C and heating depending on the weather.

Cons

very low pay compared to other businesses, you only get a 40 cent raise every year. same playlist consisting of 15 songs on repeat and it drives you crazy as time goes on. very inconsistent hours they rarely give morning shifts, you only get the more undesirable shifts like closing which ends at 9:30pm. the sales goals will be exceeded and they hours will still be cut especially around the holiday season. numerous amounts of time where i am left alone at the register on a busy day with no backup and still expected to clean fitting rooms and recover the floor with no help. overall no room for growth, started when i was 18 and am now 20 and have not even been considered or offered a higher position, 2 tiny raises is all i got. i overall feel like my position is bottom of the barrel compared to asset protection, jewelry department, and fragrance sales because they get paid better and make commission while doing less easier work. would not recommend and if you do end up working at a Macys use the experience you have and never stop applying to jobs because there really is no growth here.
