      I worked at Macy's part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The hours were relatively flexible and the coworkers were willing to answer any questions I had. The employee discount was great.

      Cons

      Didn't spend a lot of time training. There was one time where I was asked to come in before opening and was asked to do a task that I had not been trained on. (Scanning the RFID on the shoes that out on display).

      I worked at Macy's full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Employee discount. Meet new people. Easy and fast paced. Benefits were good.

      Cons

      New management. Needs work especially the store manager. not flexible with school.

      Advice to Management

      Store manager needs to be more friendlier. Management needs to stop micromanaging. Support associates. Less district visits whom dont appreciate associates hard work. Treat everyone equal. And look at the associate hard work and recognize them. Not just one person. .let people grow in the company based on their work ethics and not based on how many points they have.

      Pros

      Flexible, works with student life balance, fun

      Cons

      Short hours, not enough pay, you do work outside of fragrances if they need you

      Advice to Management

      Don’t hire too many people into seasonal fragrances, there were too many people who didn’t know what to do while at work. Finish the Associate training. Did not receive on the floor training.

      Pros

      You get 20% employee discount

      Cons

      They do not schedule enough staff, and they expect you to do the tasks that require 2-3 people, so you are always busy and the customers are always angry at you cause they have waited along time for your help

      I worked at Macy's full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The Commission was amazing if you can handle the competitive environment and build your clientele. Great option to pick up more hours when you want. Great position if you are self-sufficient.

      Cons

      Cosmetic manager is completely inexperienced especially in sales and never stepped up to customer complaints. Counter manager would say one thing when brand representative was there and the complete opposite when she left. Super slow on the cosmetic and fragrance part of the store during the week except during special events.

      Advice to Management

      Management needs to step up more in every aspect. Cosmetic manager should put more effort into sales because a big part of store revenue is made from that department. I have never seen her interact with a customer. Cosmetic manager creates an environment of favoritism and needs to work on relationships with customers as well as her own team.

      Pros

      Decent discounts, decent benefits, 1 hour lunches

      Cons

      Too much work for one sales associate to effectively work their area; constant battle between maintaining area or only checking out customers, especially in high traffic areas of the store.

      Advice to Management

      Management in store needs to be more proactive with associates to give associates much needed attention, but I do know managers and the like have a lot on their plate as well. For higher ups- a better work force would be a thing if their was more workers during peak hours of the store to help elevate the pressure.
