RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI 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.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Macy's full-time
Pros
Macy's was the best retail service place I've worked, out of three. Upper management was alright and commission was good at times
Cons
Upper management insisted on team building meetings once a week, the older associates seemed to enjoy it but the younger ones, including myself saw it as a little cultish
Advice to Management
Not all sales associates want to clap for Alexis getting a shout out, most of us don't care

"Part-Time Warehouse Associate"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Macy's part-time
Pros
Friendly place to work. The work keeps you busy. You get paid every week. I did not have to take a drug screen before accepting the position.
Cons
Work is repetitive and you are on your feet most of the day.

Pros
Company culture is best I've ever worked in.
Cons
Pay could be better, and upward mobility can be difficult if not in the inner circle.
Advice to Management
Focus more on your internal customers, and they'll take care of the external ones

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Macy's part-time
Pros
You get to pick your own hours online to work and an hour break.
Cons
I worked at Macys for the seasonal time from October to December. It was my first time working like at a big department store and they just had me on the register and on the sales floor cleaning up. I was all over the place to be honest. Low pay for what you put up with during the holidays.

Pros
Great job, terrific people, demanding, results driven, high expectations = high rewards and every day was different. You own your success by working with a team.
Cons
The holidays are demanding and challenge a work life balance. To do this job well 40 hours is never enough even without the holidays.
Advice to Management
Trust and value your field teams. They are a wealth of knowledge that goes untapped at times.

Pros
We have an extremely helpful management and HR team. We are given flexible working hours for associates who need it and high employee moral throughout the store.
Cons
The only thing that hurts our store is that we are understaffed and makes it hard to help all customers on busy days.
