Pros

20% Associate discount can be combined with other offers Ability to earn "Macy's Money", which can be used as cash to purchase items "MY" manager is great...can't speak for others.

Cons

I work in the shoe department. I have sold shoes for many companies and this by far is the worst. I have no idea how a person can support themselves, let alone a family with this pay structure. They work on a 100% commission system. The draw is a set hourly rate $8 that they give you up front for the hours you work and you must pay back from your future commission. You can end up constantly in the hole if you don't sell enough to get you over the $8/hr mark with the 7% comm rate. I really needed a job, but I regret having taken this one. Every other sell job I have had was a base + commission which allows you to make some decent money. Not so at Macy's, terrible place to work unless you have been there for 10+ years. Also holiday pay is non existant. Part-timers get nothing and full timers have to use a personal holiday. This place is terrible, I am trying my best to get out of here.

Pros

There are no positives here!

Cons

I could write a book about how terrible I've been treated here, my manager is so dumb I don't even know how he finds his way to work. He also harasses me and does not know many aspects of his job that he should.

Pros

The company is rich in history and has amazing prices on clothing.

Cons

In order to get your associate discount you have to have their credit card, management doesn't give other management recognition for anything that they do, they treat people like crap and pay employees really bad too.
