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

      Pros

      Macy's is RICH with tradition and heritage which makes you feel very proud to be a member of an American Icon. Macy's has a lot of power and weight in the industry which makes it fun to do your job. Macy's understands how important it is to truly focus on the customer and make "Magic" with everything you do. It isn't all about numbers, its about positive customer experiences which ultimately lead to results.

      Cons

      Like any huge company, there are redundancies with jobs, which makes it difficult to get an answer to a problem or question. Although Macy's tries to move faster, due to the companies size, we often miss business opportunities that smaller competitors act quicker on. Macy's size and power is its greatest strength but also its greatest weakness.

      Advice to Management

      Macy's is a truly fun company to work for however Macy's executives (not all) have difficulty embracing change, especially tenured members, making it difficult to innovate.

      Pros

      You learn a lot in a really short amount of time. Flexible scheduling. The Managers have high expectations but it is really to keep everyone safe. Be ready to go through constant training and drills.

      Cons

      It can be tough work at times. Apprehending shoplifters can be difficult.

      Advice to Management

      Look at the rate of pay for the top performers.

      Pros

      Most managers and co-workers are super friendly and helpful. Always answered any questions I had. Love the team mentality throughout the store.

      Cons

      Its Macys... The customers are going to be those with money. Especially in the fine jewelry. So you will get some rude and degrading comments every now and then, but the ratio of bad to good is 1:20.
