Pros

good hours for merchandise team managers.

Cons

they did a very poor job when thy took over strawbridges. the store i went to was very un welcoming of its transplants from strawbridges. They looked down upon us. The store manager treated us as if we were all idiots and had never worked n retail before. We were told we had to earn our respect. The store manager was given recommendations from strawbridges seinor management. Recomendations were given Macys own transition team for placement and promotions all of this information was ignored. We were treated as if we did not have any skill or acomplishments.

Pros

The company offers flexible schedules. Majority of the people are good to work along side of. If you are looking for an extra job or seasonal work, this could be a good fit.

Cons

Mid-level managers were lacking in leadership abilities. Some were not good planners...this put extra strain on other workers. The number of sales associates available on the floor was low. This caused customers to become upset when they could not find a way to complete their sales and leave. Again, this added to the strain of workers and it seemed like they were not happy to be there working.

Not enough training for new employees. Expected to work very hard for your money. When things get busy as they often due in retail around the holiday's their was little help when you need it.
