      Seasonal Administrative Support Team Associate Interview

      Oct 23, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I applied online and received an in-person interview which I scheduled for the following week. The interview, however, was disappointing because for one thing, the interviewer seemed really inexperienced and had trouble speaking English. I had to ask her several times to repeat herself because she struggled to pronounce some of the words. Throughout the interview, she bluntly stated that she expected the candidate to work overnight shifts and that some weeks he/she would not get any hours. It was very misleading of the job posting to indicate that it was a full time position when it was only part time. The candidate was basically expected to be on-call as late as 2 AM. I didn't mind the fact that the shifts ended late, but it did bother me that some weeks there wouldn't be any hours. The bottom line is that if the position is only part-time, the company shouldn't promote it as full-time. I walked away with a negative impression of the company, mostly because the interviewer was borderline rude and seemed very unprofessional or inexperienced. She didn't even know what a sales associate was when I told her that I was a former sales associate at another retail store.

      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (New York, NY) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      The process consisted of a preliminary round in a small room with other one-on-one interviews in process and then a conversation with a supervisor. The first interviewer followed a very predictable pattern of questions. The second chat was much more in-depth and allowed for more inquiries about the specific role.

      Seasonal Administrative Support Team Associate Interview

      Dec 1, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Tukwila, WA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's (Tukwila, WA) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      The interview process for the position was a classic bait-and-switch. When I arrived for the interview--on time and dressed appropriately--I was told the position I'd applied for had been filled, but, oh, would I be interested in sales? I had no experience whatsoever in sales, and no particular desire to be in sales, so I said, "Frankly, no," and got up to leave. I had traveled almost an hour to get to the interview site, and I felt I'd wasted my time.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Albuquerque, NM) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I applied for the position online. I got a reply the next day asking me to schedule an interview. I scheduled at the next available time slot. I arrived at the store fifteen minutes early, was met by a manager who asked me interview questions. She asked me to talk about a time in which I used integrity to solve a problem, a time in which I had to sell something to a customer, a time in which I had to offer a customer an alternative, and why I chose Macy's. I promptly answered with examples from my retail experience. After the last question, she proceeds to tell me that THE POSITION HAS ALREADY BEEN FILLED but that she can refer me to the manager in charge of Sales Associates if I am interested. Never in all of my experience have I been dealt with so unprofessionally. Who lets an interviewee continue on with the interview knowing that you're not going to hire them? So rude. I will never work for Macy's if this is how they treat people.
