Pros

I heard it used to be a pleasant , and great working place, not anymore Competitive Salary , Benefits, and good Employee Discounts

Cons

No Professionalism, No one cares whether you work for company or leave the company as almost all the levels of Employees are working in Survival Mode. Very bad middle Management, and there were no proper on-boarding procedures , training, knowledge sharing or knowledge base for new employees/associates Horrible employee engagement , and manager to employee relationships If you need to be successful, then you have to literally beg things from few people to approve things or share knowledge about the systems to perform your duties I would not recommend this place to work until unless you cannot survive/ or do not have a job any other place. The funny fact was, I thought of not joining this company based on glassdoor reviews, and then I thought I had talent to survive. But it proved that Glass Door reviews are more stronger than my talents.

Pros

you get ok pto even as a part timer, not physically demanding, good A/C and heating depending on the weather.

Cons

very low pay compared to other businesses, you only get a 40 cent raise every year. same playlist consisting of 15 songs on repeat and it drives you crazy as time goes on. very inconsistent hours they rarely give morning shifts, you only get the more undesirable shifts like closing which ends at 9:30pm. the sales goals will be exceeded and they hours will still be cut especially around the holiday season. numerous amounts of time where i am left alone at the register on a busy day with no backup and still expected to clean fitting rooms and recover the floor with no help. overall no room for growth, started when i was 18 and am now 20 and have not even been considered or offered a higher position, 2 tiny raises is all i got. i overall feel like my position is bottom of the barrel compared to asset protection, jewelry department, and fragrance sales because they get paid better and make commission while doing less easier work. would not recommend and if you do end up working at a Macys use the experience you have and never stop applying to jobs because there really is no growth here.
