The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2009
Interview
Initially, I was contacted by email, scheduled my own interview, went in, and waited in line behind four or five people to interview. My interviewer seemed distracted, tired, uninterested, and not knowledgeable. They did not know what positions were open. I assumed I'd come to interview for the position I applied for, but ended up working something else.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macy's (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Applied online. I got the interview only because I was referred by someone else. At the time there was a mentally unstable woman working there. She told me that I was going to work in a dept. And she incorrectly told me the floor it was on. When I corrected her, she ripped the job offer out of my hands. Insane.
I went back just to tell the lady that hired me how crazy and inappropriate what she did was. She told me 'don't mind her' lol! They just accepted that she was crazy! LOL And I got the job back. Working for Macy's is bonkers! I quit soon after, just warning people not to bother working here if you value your sanity!
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Dunwoody, GA) in May 2015
Interview
Group interview. Sit around a table wearing and everyone answers the same question. Everyone introduces themselves to the one manager in the center of the conference room. After the group interview, you move on to a one on one interview process where you speak with your floor manager, and HR or Store manager before they officially hire you as a part of the magic team.

Interview
I applied online at Macy's and was called in for an interview almost immediately. Man who interviewed me seemed a little unsure of himself (might be new) but was overall very nice.
