Pros

Big company, opportunity for networking with people from different areas of business (accounting, finance, marketing, customer service, legal, etc). Opportunity to work on large-scale, nation-wide assignments. Very fast-paced.

Cons

Very little opportunity for professional growth and development due to triangle-shaped pyramid (more opportunities while you are at the low level, but the higher you are the fewer opportunities there are)

I was too naive going into this job

Pros

Some of my coworkers have been extremely helpful and supportive since starting work here. It's certainly nice to know when clothes are going on sale before everyone else.

Cons

Horrible Horrible Pay! I realize that you don't need to be college educated to work this job; however, it would be nice to pay associates livable wages. I am sure people in management do just fine, but sales associates and other positions within this store aren't paid appropriate wages at all. You have a great deal of pressure from managers to get people to open Macy's credit cards and to meet your daily sales goals. Opening Rc's can be difficult to do let alone in this economy.
