Good jumping off point, there is good and bad in every company Macy's is no different.
Pros
I think this is a good starting point if you are motivated and willing to work, also if you need to make a career change this is also a good company. Macy's is a retail giant so there are alot of good reasons to seek them out they have good training programs so take advantage of all they have to offer, the benefits are decent and if you are interested in learning the retail business from the ground up or if you have aspirations to go in other directions such as buying or merchandising, or management you will be given the opportunity here but just like any other company you will have to work for it times are tough right now be prepared.
Cons
Retail is not for everyone, the hours are tough and if you really need your Holiday's this is not for you.
