Pros

Great work environment. Time never goes by slowly. Always something different. I am just writing this review so I can look at another review. I do feel that Macy's is a great place to work and would recommend it to others. My boss is the best boss I've ever had. He doesn't hover and respects that he has trained me to do my job well and only steps in when necessary. Macy's has great people who work for them and help the day pass by with ease. Working as a team is very important for Macy's employees. Hope my review was helpful.

Cons

The benefits package is expensive for what you get. I don't feel it is worth it. I have a college degree and don't feel that my pay is as good as it should be. I cannot write a hundred words about downsides of Macy's because I can't think of any. I enjoy working there and would highly recommend it to anyone. Working at Macy's has taught me a lot and I feel most people would benefit for working in the environment they provide. I am now just typing to fill in the minimum word amount. Sorry for not having more negative things to say.

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.
