Pros

The discount is pretty good, and they give you a prepaid card if you don't want the credit card. (Discounts are given through cards only.)

Cons

Management is poor, but you get that in many retail environments. The company isn't doing that great--was formerly Lazarus, but took the Macy's name and price points. Not much changed.

Pros

- Job security (you have to be stealing or just really incompetent to get fired) - A decent level of respect between managers and associates - Scorecard system lets you know just how well you are doing compared to your peers (no guesswork)

Cons

- Pay is AWFUL - Benefits are AWFUL - Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty (you are expected to open 3 credit accounts per week) - Just an all around cheap, greedy company

Pros

Friendly coworkers, fun contests, I worked at the Chanel Beauty counter and Chanel gave us a lot of employee benifits like samples and gifts if we met our sales. Macy's really didn't have anything to do with it.

Cons

They work you really hard with crazy hours and my paychecks where always wrong. they would not work in overtime. When you get hired and start working you have to get a certain amount of their store charge cards in so many days and if you do not meet it they fire you, even if you have high sales. The upper management got bonuses if the store met its card goals from corperate but would fire you if you didn't make the money for them.
