Pros

Macys is large company with a lot of opportunities to move into new roles. Great work/life balance with very few working more than 10-12 hr days.

Cons

Macys is such a large company with so many tiers it is very difficult to get any level of responsibility at a junior level. Its all about heirarchy. Wont really get responsibilty until Buyer level (at least 6 yrs experience required) and even then it is very limited. Can be stifling because even Buyer can't make own decisions, has to get sign off from so many tiers of people about them.

Pros

The best part of working at Macy's is the employee discount. Also, the other associates I worked with were a great bunch.

Cons

Management is horrible at giving you your hours ahead of time. I never found out my hours for the week until the Saturday before. The pay is very low considered to other retail stores. I also found the store managers to be rude and indecisive.

Pros

A decent place to work if you are looking for something part-time and nothing really to demanding. You get a discount at least.

Cons

Terrible management skills and clearly a lack of understanding when it comes to retailing or trying to run a successful business as a whole.
