Pros

The management knows that their employees are still people so they do everything in their power to help manage the time schedules to fit everyone's hectic lives. Overall, it was really rewarding to work there. Many perks as well!

Cons

I hated the holiday season at Macys because a week before Christmas, Macys would be open for 24 hours and sometimes, I would get out really late. Most of the time, it would be at maybe midnight or later!

It has been a frustrating experience.

Pros

Their new scheduling system is computer generated; which makes it fair and unbiased. Also, their cash registers are more modern than other department stores.

Cons

From the time I was hired, nothing has been easy. I was hired as a beauty advisor, however it took two long months before anyone from the cosmetics line called me for an interview. That should have handled when I hired. I have had uniform issues, training issues, and gratis issues that have been handled without urgency. NO ONE EVER KNOWS ANYTHING! I'm floored by the level of unprofessionalism.

Pros

There are promotion opportunities in store, the learning and development is second to none. The industry is focused on the customer. It looks great on a resume.

Cons

There is absolutely NO work/ life balance. The job demands too many hours and work for not enough pay. There is a lack of appreciation. Just one day leaves you feeling drained and exhausted.
