Pros

I worked with great buyers and planners during my time at Macy's West. Macy's always encouraged employee development, whether it be from on-the-job training or through instructional trainings.

Cons

For such a big company, I found that available jobs at Macy's were few and far between. I've known other people who have also felt demotivated due to the lack of available positions.

Not a bad place to work

Pros

There is strong teamwork amongst the people who work at Macy's West. It is a fun environment to work and very relaxed.

Cons

The pay may not be as competitive as other major retailers and even smaller retailers. The pay is often capped and there is no way to advance without jumping through a series of hoops.

Pros

Employee discount is decent, although all purchases must be made on a Macy's Card. Ability to view schedule and sales #s from home.

Cons

I had no problem learning how to perform the basic operations on the registers, but my manager started me on a Sunday without telling me what area I was working in. Turns out that I had no business even working in that department. NO product training prior to being tossed on the floor. Selling credit is a MUST. Every commissioned and non-commissioned sales employee is tracked on how much they run through the register. Breaks are promised, but hard to deliver. Manager are hard to find and all they care about is numbers.
