Pros

The actual Sales Associates are really great people to work with. The department that I worked in was like a family.. we had each others' backs and we were willing to work together.

Cons

The management has trouble announcing changes and informing the associates in their department of necessary things. For instance, I went in to work one day, checked my schedule, and found that the entire next week was blank! This was absolutely horrible for me, considering I am a flat broke college student and I had even gone in to work the day before to ask for more hours, which they said they would give to me. When I asked my supervisor about the lack of hours on my schedule, he sent me to HR because he didn't know what else to do. When I got to HR... they told me that they were laying me off as a Part-time Sales Associate then re-hiring me as an on-call associate. They said that I should have been informed by my supervisor. I was definitely NOT informed. Also, they said that I would recieve 2 weeks worth of severance, since i wouldn't be able to work until I was re-hired as an on-call associate. It has now been 1 1/2 months since that meeting, and they have not answered my calls, nor contacted me in any way. Also, i recieved only one week of severance. Somebody needs to get it together. I don't appreciate the way that they treated me. It's like they're taking advantage of me because I'm "young" and I don't know how I should actually be treated.

Pros

Working with Macy's will give you a sense of confidence in approaching individuals and simply lend a hand to them and support them on what they need. You'll also build your communication skills and sound more professional with other people.

Cons

Some downsides are when there are no customers and you are lead to daydream or just walk around.
