Pros

In its prime, we had some really smart folks doing innovative work adding value to the store business. Work / life balance is good. Pay is good. Still some good people there.

Cons

Recent layoffs has not only resulted in blood letting to reduce payroll, but the targeting of the experienced technical folks $$$ is leaving MST with a true technical void. Multiple layoffs in the last year. Too much reliance on off shore contract resources which have little or no knowledge of the systems they support.

Pros

I enjoyed my time here at Macys shipping & receiving. The work looks intimidating at first but it honestly not that bad. Imagine a warehouse environment. My favorite part was packing the online orders.

Cons

The only con that made my experience not so great was the manager in the shipping department. Her attitude was very horrid and created a hostile environment for everyone around her. I enjoyed my days working when she wasn’t in the room. She’ll yell & complain about things we can’t control. Like when we ran out of boxes she would get so mad at us for pulling from other stations when there is no stock in the back. Like obviously we’re not doing the things we’re doing for no reason. It was more of a dammed if you do dammed if you don’t type of situation. I could go on & on about the things she yelled at us about that was completely out of our control. My goal was to make sure the packages are shipped efficiently and in a timely manner.
