Pros
Pays a little in between regular jobs. Heated and air conditioned facility. Reasonably clean work. Supervisors are nice. Hired right away after applying and interviewing.
Cons
We had online training classes for 6 hours including anti-union propaganda, then were put on the sales floor during a big weekend sale Saturday. The senior cashier did not have time to teach us much. Next shift wasn't scheduled until Black Friday, nearly a month later; we will not be prepared well. During my interview, I requested to work seasonally, late morning and later. I am scheduled to work late, then come in 7 or 8 a.m. the next day. I have 6 a.m. start times, too. This was not at all what I had hoped for and requested. No one wants to work late, then come in early the next day! It really messes up one's sleep cycles. It's odd that managers haven't figured that out, yet. 6 a.m. , 7 a.m., nor 8 a.m. are not late morning, folks! Plus, I was told I would make commission even when in a different section than my usual. Not true. Retail is hard work physically and mentally. Macy's schedulers make it harder, yet, with unnecessarily inhumane schedules.
