I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Warwick, RI)
Interview
"Describe the interview process" - I didn't even GET an interview. A day before my scheduled time, they called me and told me they "no longer had the available position." So unprofessional. I spent 3 days reviewing history about the company (both companies) and their procedures for this interview. Unbelievable and disappointed.

Interview
Seemed like a standard interview, except for the fact that it was virtual and I had to record myself answering question prompts. This was my first time doing an interview though.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Macy's (Bolingbrook, IL) in Jan 2020
Interview
Horrible company . I used to work there and they still denied me . Horrible company in general. The managers look down on you and they they are better than everyone walking around with purses while we use plastic bags to carry our stuff

Interview
This was my first interview and it went alright. A lot of the questions were focused on customers, making customers connections and how to handle problems. Also how to handle a disagreement with coworkers, etc.
