      Pros

      Not many anymore. Since BONlife was eliminated, it has been very unfriendly to it's employees.

      Cons

      Pay, benefits, constant store visits from unfriendly and unpleasant senior management, blame the stores for company problems.

      Goodbye to Macys West

      Senior assistant buyer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If I could say one reason to work at macys west, it is the people. Their are not a lot of good managers there but all of my colleagues I have really enjoyed working with. Also, it is a great place to learn because they have a good training program. They also depending at what level you are at you get to travel to LA, NY or even abroad, as a buyer for Macys West. They also do a lot of philanthropy events, which is fun to be a part of a company that remembers to give back. They also had great sample sales only for MW employees.

      Cons

      The downsides to working at Macys west, is you are either the chosen one and they company loves you or they make up your mind that you aren't gonna cut it and want you out. I have seen this happen first thing to friends of mine, that were really smart . There is a lot of favoritism especially with upper management. The pay is not competitive and really neither is the benefits compared to other retailers in the bay area. Their is not a good work life balence, some managers want you to work overtime but not clock it which is illegal.

      Last resort

      Pros

      None! Good Location, discount I guess. There are some good people working there, but none in the highly competitive, catty Shoe Department. Direct Deposit is nice, but I think all employers offer that. No comment on the benefits, as I haven't received them yet. Perhaps Bloomingdale's is better.....

      Cons

      Pretty much everything - the people, management, hope you don't like to use the restroom as you won't be allowed to! Uncaring management, very poor compensation for the amount of work you do. Gossipy, immature coworkers. Unrealistic sales targets, forcing the credit card down the customers' throats...basically you're a grunt in a suit.
