Absoutley no room for adavancement unless you harass customers into opening a charge account. After several years of working part time and proving my sales ability over and over the management doesnt do anything to help you move on to full time or another store. The store hours can make it impossible to plan your life if your part time because they will stick you with closing shifts in which the store can close at 9pm to 12am depending on the sale. The company now has so many sales and reduces the prices so low that it makes earning your commission a joke. THEY DO NOT EXCUSE YOUR ABSENCES FOR ILLNESS EVEN WITH A DOCTORS NOTE! Depending on the length of your illness this can result in punishments that place you on probation for six months where if you accrue two points (1 point per abscence) within that six month period they have the right to block you for raises, transfers and promotions or at its most severe terminate you. Working at Macys is best if your just there as a seasonal hire. You come in for a few months and utilize the discount and not worry about sales goals, opening credit accounts etc.
