Pros

If you are looking for sales- it's where people shop often No crazy Macy's hours Cross departmental selling is encouraged

Cons

If you fail to make your numbers, your hours get cut Your health benefits are determined by the number of hours you work- so some months you can be covered, some months you can be without coverage If you continue to fail to make your numbers, you will lose your job If you are not a hardcore sales person DO NOT work here

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
