Pros

Great discount and flexible hours. I received either 20 or 30% off (I forget exactly which it was). Because I was seasonal, I was able to say what hours I could and cannot work and it made it easier to manage my personal life.

Cons

I was payed $7 an hour. I thought that was a horrible seasonal wage. I only took it b/c I was able to take advantage of the discount. Christmas shopping was almost all done at Macys. :)

Pros

Macy's is a well-known company, and it is a fun place to work at. Generally speaking, most of the people you will work with are friendly, and the customers generally have good intentions. Also, the consistency of how the store runs is comforting, especially since each store employs so many people- you meet so many people working there!

Cons

Credit card opening- abilities are stressed, and if you are unsuccessful or feel bashful about asking people to open an account (no matter what the economic climate), you will probably hear about this fact on a regular basis.
