      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.

      Pros

      I worked as part of the visual team and I really enjoyed being able to express my creativity and the people within the team were great to work with and inspiring.

      Cons

      low pay, little room for growth withing a visual position. There are several associates and managers that aren't willing to do their job. Poor attitudes and lack of training.

      Want to be overworked and underpaid, then this is a job for you.

      Loss prevention agent

      Pros

      Macy's are all over the place. If you'd like a place to work that will let you interact with people, it will certainly do that. They are a busy environments and are conveniently located in most malls. If you want to get your foot in the door with loss prevention- it may be a good place to start.

      Cons

      There is a high turnover rate for most management and associates. They do not care about people- just about numbers. It's sickening. If you didn't catch a certain number of shoplifters (the number coming from LAST year) then you were looked upon badly. You are also expected to take care of operations and other maintenance issues that you were never told about. It is an interesting job, if you can stand the low pay and horrible people- as well as the constant pressure and vigilance. Bottom line? People won't like you- and will see you as an enemy out to get them-- because you are. You're waiting for someone to do any little thing wrong to fire them. If you can live with that? Take the job.
