Macy's reviews

I work in the shoe department. I have sold shoes for many companies and this by far is the worst. I have no idea how a person can support themselves, let alone a family with this pay structure. They work on a 100% commission system. The draw is a set hourly rate $8 that they give you up front for the hours you work and you must pay back from your future commission. You can end up constantly in the hole if you don't sell enough to get you over the $8/hr mark with the 7% comm rate. I really needed a job, but I regret having taken this one. Every other sell job I have had was a base + commission which allows you to make some decent money. Not so at Macy's, terrible place to work unless you have been there for 10+ years. Also holiday pay is non existant. Part-timers get nothing and full timers have to use a personal holiday. This place is terrible, I am trying my best to get out of here.

I could write a book about how terrible I've been treated here, my manager is so dumb I don't even know how he finds his way to work. He also harasses me and does not know many aspects of his job that he should.
