Macy's Sacramento Reviews

Pros

Flexible hours, friendly atmosphere

Pros

Great pay (if you work in a commission area),
Associate discounts,
Competitive environment

Advice to Management

Stop bending the rules. We get the same customers constantly returning damaged and used items and most of you keep bending your knee to them like they own you. It's insulting that you'll throw away money to the same customers just because "they have a Macy's card and are loyal customers," as one manager put it.

Pros

Discounts, flexibility, co workers, able to swap shifts if you have school/ second job

Advice to Management

We are not robots

Pros

The best thing about working for Macy's is the CEO is trying to bring the company current by addressing loss prevention & racial profiling, gender neutral bathrooms, making a booklet outlining methods for 100 ways of magic which speak on many downsides of retail, offers solutions, and wants to encourage upward mobility. Unfortunately, the store I work in is not adhering to any of it.
You are paid weekly and have access to your personnel, schedules, messages, etc. Unfortunately, you may select to work in one dept. & end up in a dept. you know nothing about because of staff shortage and/or the manager is "offering" your service to be passive aggressive.
Not every store is cut throat, you may get a great manager and it makes 100% difference. They are pro diversity on many levels.

Advice to Management

Separate business from camaraderie. Staff seem happy because you are a manager & not because they actually respect you. Sorry you developed a friendship or work with a relative or partner, hold people's accountability to equal standards staff know who you value more. 9/10 managers are aware of the problem or created the problem and need to be leaders and resolve what is causing attrition. No one is going to give honest feedback for fear of retaliation, find a way to get in touch with what is going on in your dept. or store. Be leaders.

Pros

The pros are:
flexibility- you can work different shifts and depending on the time of year/season, there are a lot of available shifts
weekly pay- you get a check every week
location- there is a store within a small radius in the state of California so it's easily accessible
They are always hiring
It's a stepping stone and not all stores are the same.

Advice to Management

Management is part of the problem. You know what the problems are but choose not to look at what your part is. There is no advice you are not aware of already needed to improve the current custom.
Corporate needs to stop telling the managers/stores when they are coming to visit because you see a false representation of the actual store operations, you see things according to a week's planning and not as they are. Visit stores when no one expects you if you want the reality.

Pros

Good part-time benefits( dental & vision ), you can opt in for others at a very reduced cost, life insurance, disability. 401K with employer match. Paid holidays after 1 year + time & a half. You accrue other paid holidays for the number of hours you work. Flexible schedule to a point you can trade and advertise shifts but you have to be in a department withe enough employees to make that possible. I work in a department with very few employees , so its almost impossible to change schedule. Its minimum wage but you add in the benefits & if you happen to make it into a commission department, you can make $15-$17 an hour.

Advice to Management

Not everyone is a barbie & skill & experience come in many packages. Support your associates, nothing makes you feel lower than low than when you say no to a customer & a manager comes along and says yes. We can enjoy being an employee without all the ra-ra and songs & rallies . Don't make morning rallies mandatory. Improve communication about changes, promos and discounts .

Pros

almost free dress. Paid weekly

Advice to Management

no favoritism towards employees, better recognition of accomplishments

Pros

Co-workers were great, they made the job bearable.

Advice to Management

Pay raise. Hire more people, the bottom line is if you don't have enough people working, employees will keep on quitting. No one wants to work long hours with rude customers and no help.
