      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.

      I have been working at Macy's part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I work as a temp seasonal employee. Good company. Good environment. All employees seem to enjoy their job and have been there for many years.

      Cons

      Some of the long time employees have a problem with the seasonal employees. They should remember there's room for everyone and we're here to help.

      Pros

      Benefits, you can grow in the company

      Cons

      Salary, 9$ per hour is nothing for all the responsibilities and tasks they expect us to do every day

      Advice to Management

      More empathy with your employees

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

      Pros

      Love my repeat customers and commission made it easy for me to make as much money as I honestly wanted to put my mind into making.

      Cons

      The managers were always working against the other department managers instead of as a team.

      Advice to Management

      Working as a team would make things so much easier. They shouldnt be giving different orders to their employees because no employee EVER wants their manager to feel like they didn't listen to them or disrespected them.

      Pros

      Great hours, awesome manager, great team leaders, and great benefits

      Cons

      Rude customers some people are born nasty. You have to have a strong voice and be able to handle pressure

      Advice to Management

      Go easy on employees we are human.

      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.

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

      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.
