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

      Pros

      Great hrs and schedule. I loved merchandising; staging the floor and organizing the stock rooms. Loved working mostly mornings it was great

      Cons

      The only downside was that it was no room for growth. There was no opportunity to move up or expand.

      Advice to Management

      Really take the time to know your employees individually. Everyone has different goals and needs. It would've been nice to have an employer that understood this
