Pros

Colleagues are dedicated and sincere. The human resources department is staffed with employees that really care. Management has been increasingly sensitive to the diverse make-up of their employees. Macy's is an exciting part of American culture. It's iconic special events like Passport, Flower Show, Fireworks and Thanksgiving Day Parade contributes to the community while positively reflecting Macy's brand image.

Cons

Main focus is profit. Although there is some philanthropy there should be significantly more. So many employees it's sometimes hard to be seen as an important individual.

Pros

It is a huge and very well known organization. You can gain a lot of useful experience. Your co-workers are all great people.

Cons

The work never, ever stops and your workdays are very long and grueling. You have only 6 paid Holidays off per year. Compared to the rest of the industry, you are paid less for the same position. It is extremely difficult to advance because the company usually doesn't promote from within. Lack of accountability among middle management. There is an unfair distribution of work responsibility .

Pros

The employee discount is a benefit, especially when you get a discount on marked down prices. Since the stores are open seven days per week, there flexibility to accommodate student schedules.

Cons

Working nights and weekends could affect your social calendar. Additionally, the base pay isn't the greatest- it's not the worst either.
