Pros

Flexible hours and decent discount. I worked there part-time while attending college and the ability to schedule hours around my college schedule was beneficial.

Cons

Disrespectful management, relatively low morale, and the difficulty in breaking out of the "floater " status as they call it. If you get a part-time job there, you're constantly (for several months at least) just shifted around from department to department. The downside to this is that besides knowing how to work the register (which is really the only thing you learn there), you feel like it's your first day everyday there because you're always in a new dept. with new employees and customers and merchandise. The pay is also low and they expect you to sell so many credit cards per month.

Pros

Employee discounts, especially when items are already on sale!

Cons

Depending on your luck, the management I had to deal with was non-responsive and underqualified. There is always a push for opening credit cards. As a consumer, I LOVE Macys, but as an employee at the particular store I was at, the comraderie and support was lacking, as well as supervision. People would just leave on breaks for hours and come back to clock out.

Pros

It's a place that one can work if you are in between jobs. I would not recommend someone pursue working there as a career unless the really love and are good at sales.

Cons

Having to harass customers to open credit Applications, Having to solicit people to do on-line surveys on performance, cirlcing and signing receipt, no regular schedules, little control over your schedule.
