Pros

Started working there recently and everyone is friendly. The more senior people in my department are very willing to help you through a question/problem.

Cons

Ask what you think would be just a general question of office support personnel and you don't get an answer. Pay is low but then you don't have to have too many skills to work there either. Training appeared to be almost haphazard without any consistent steps except to do prelim paperwork, train on pc....then you get thrown onto the floor. Another new employee had never closed and was on the schedule alone to close.

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.
