Pros

The discount & "Macy's Money" are great. My department manager is very supportive (but totally over-worked). Flexibility with scheduling to a certain degree.

Cons

The pressure to open new charge accounts is unreasonable. The constant barrage of sales is ridiculous. The extended hours are gruelling. ...and, unfortunately, alot of the prestige once associated with Macy's is dwindling. The difference between Macy's, Kohl's, & JCPenney is getting harder to discern...it wasn't always that way.

Pros

Flexible schedule, "personal days", selling incentives, measly bus pass discount, supervision mostly from "the sky" - not from managers.

Cons

Incompetent managers, HR doesn't care about personal days needed if there is a schedule conflict, "loyalty" credit account and daily sales goals are unrealistic given the economy, wages given "based on experience" have absolutely nothing to do with experience - only whatever wage you asked for in the interview or whichever manager hired you.

Pros

Macy's offers a higher hourly salary than a lot of other jobs. They also offer an employee discount of 20%.

Cons

You have to figure out how to do everything on your own - they don't tell you near what you need to know, and you have to figure out a lot that they could have easily told you. Some of the sales associates are very territorial and catty.
