      It's a retail job.

      Pros

      Discounts were nice and so were your coworkers as long as they weren't too gossipy. During the non busy hours, work was slow and there wasn't much to do besides fluff and fold clothing and standing around waiting for customers to show up. Ever since our remodel, the facilities were much nicer especially the fitting rooms which weren't so bad to clean up after now.

      Cons

      Time off can be a pain to request, especially if you're not chummy with management. Our HR wasn't very nice in my opinion, but the department managers were great.

      There is a great company atmosphere. Initiative and creativity is encourage. Exceptional performance is rewarded. The Work - Life balance is encouraged. Management is knowledgable and invovled. Great professional development and training classes.

      Cons

      The big downside is that they are down sizing. The office is going away late April.

      Pros

      if you just need a paycheck go for it...but if it's for a sales associate you will get the lowest pay out there in the retail world. i was a manager and i lost people all the time bc macys hardly pays and expects way to much out of their associates for no money. i would fight hr to try and get my people raises all the time and was always denied

      Cons

      there are so many i don't know where to start. as a manager you could only take your vacation when it was convenient for the company and sometimes you'd get called back early. as a manager your responsible for a multi-million dollar department and the store as a whole with no staff. you constantly have to give your staff up. if you are a misses manager you wind up just doing fitting room twelve hours a day because your one person that you have all day is responsible for ringing the register helping customers straightening and cleaning out the fitting room and putting it back. that's just a couple things there's so many downsides of this company there is not enough time for me to list them all.
