      I have been working at Macy's (More than a year)

      Pros

      -Ability to advertise and offer covers for shifts online.
      -General sense of camaraderie among hourly staff.

      Cons

      -Staffing at this location is horrible, leaving other associates to take on more for lack of people. People are not being hired, and there are constant callouts.
      -I was referred to by a sexist term by a coworker and there have been no consequences for that employee.
      -Often pulled to work out of department in areas where there is no coverage. I have many times been stuck covering at a register when I'm a fitting room associate.
      -I've several times been scheduled outside of my given availability.

      Advice to Management

      Do not change schedules last minute.
      Respect employees given availability.
      Hire more people!
      Listen to and address employee concerns more effectively.

      Pros

      Overall they are a laid back company so it is a nice place to start if you are looking for a temp job or new to retail.

      Cons

      Not always enough hours, information flowed down hill but it is kind of confusing at times, because people never leave it is hard to move up.

      Advice to Management

      Help employees develop the future they want to see while incorporating them into the future direction of the organization.

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

      Pros

      Easy to swap or advertise your shifts. Good discounts.

      Cons

      Scheduling is a nightmare. Done by a computer who won’t care if you’re by yourself on Black Friday for 10 hours. No coverage when you’re alone, HR never calls people in if they want to pick up shifts. You’re required to work when they need you, you have no choice. Can’t even get someone to cover you who isn’t working if it’s a key day. Management is a joke. They let go so many employees so the stores are skeletons. Macy’s won’t last long.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your employees as people not cattle. You should be giving good employees raises.

      Pros

      The atmosphere is beautiful which includes very friendly, patient, helpful, supportive staff which are great teachers except when they are extremely busy and over their heads during the holidays. I had to keep asking for help as I was somewhat thrown into the lion's den.

      Cons

      The pay could be better. We live in expensive big cities.
