      Retail sales is retail sales.

      Pros

      20-30% discount on merchandise purchases--even cosmetics and Frango Mints! Opportunity to be around people in a reasonably pleasant environment. Flexible hours. Management was no worse than general for a retail environment. There were daily newsletters that gave employees information about employee and store sales figures, special employee discounts, and sales contests.

      Cons

      Horrible salaries. Almost no chance of advancement for store employees. Boring work. Being around other employees who are not committed to their jobs. Very few hours were given to holiday employees, although this was probably due more to the economy than company policy.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to learn about retail, and many opportunities to advance if you're a hard worker. Macy's gives you the opportunity to learn about the retail business on a large scale. Never a boring day, if you have one then you're probably not doing a good job. Great place to work after college and gain managerial experience, that will help you further on down the road.

      Cons

      Very stressful, especially during this economic time. There coupon system is frustrating and needs to addressed, they would have much more success with customer service.

      With the right manager, you can learn a lot about the industry and opportunities. Other wise, you are on your own.

      Pros

      You can learn various aspects of running/planning a business at an entry level, so long as you have the right Manager.

      Cons

      I rarely worked with my Management - Vendor and Store. Maybe 2 times with the Vendor in a year. And you run into your Macy's management by chance. So, if you are looking to grow make sure you understand what time your management can spend with you.
