Pros

There are many opportunities and career paths that Macy's offers. For entry level applicants, it is great as they offer one of the best training programs in the industry, and promotions happen regularly. You get exposed to all facets of a large corporation and are able to shape your career based on your interests, from private label product teams, buying, marketing, human resources, and design. Management is very educated and driven and pushes their employees. It is a great place to learn and start a career and figure out your professional strengths and weaknesses. Motivated indivuals are recognized by management and given more responsibility accordingly.

Cons

It is very corporate in nature, and comes with the many beuracracies involved. It can be easy to get "lost in the sauce" and pigeon holed into a career path if you aren't firm in your wants. It is also ran so differently by departments, so initial entry level placement may dictate your promotion time frame.

Pros

They have a pretty decent discount. I mean, if you of your family shops at Macy's. And the empolyee lounge is okay. I'm not too keen on the new dress code but they do look nice. And they have pretty decent music over the intercom. Um...I can't write 100 words about how great or bad Macy's was... They pay pretty well and if you're full time, the breaks are fantastic! thirty more words... The discount applies to anything in the entire store, regardless of what department you work in. Plus, they have special days where employees can come in and get double their orignal discount.

Cons

When I was working there, I didn't like the long hours. Also, in order to use your discount you have to sign up for a Macy's card. I got into some serious credit trouble with that but I have since repaired the damage. It's regular reatil so no benefits. I know on many occasions I had been reprimanded for causing customers to leave when it was them who caused the issue. Um, I still can't write 100 words on Macy's disadvantages. All in all it wasn't great but it could have been much much much worse. Oh, There's no sitting down.
