Pros

The associates I work with are outstanding. The level of dedication by associates and managers to provide outstanding customer service is admirable. All levels of emjployees are dedicated to working hard, providing good service and meeting the stores goals,

Cons

The staffing is a huge concern. There are simply not enough associates staffed to provide the level of service the company wants to be known for providing their customers. The management can be unprofessional and petty about small issues.

Pros

macy's offers many different shifts to work, so there is flexibility; great opportunities for associates to shop with discounts--generous employee discount, macys money, coupons are now allowed.

Cons

Unclear and everchanging coupons & promotions--best to offer customer low price and throw in a coupon every so often; breakdown in information from managment to sales floor; lack of passion
