      I was too naive going into this job

      Pros

      Some of my coworkers have been extremely helpful and supportive since starting work here. It's certainly nice to know when clothes are going on sale before everyone else.

      Cons

      Horrible Horrible Pay! I realize that you don't need to be college educated to work this job; however, it would be nice to pay associates livable wages. I am sure people in management do just fine, but sales associates and other positions within this store aren't paid appropriate wages at all. You have a great deal of pressure from managers to get people to open Macy's credit cards and to meet your daily sales goals. Opening Rc's can be difficult to do let alone in this economy.

      Not Horrible...

      Pros

      You meet a lot of interesting people working in retail..and the plus side of cosmetics (at least in my store) was that you weren't responsible for organizing too much inventory overall typical retail job

      Cons

      This is the type of place you only "work to get a check" because Macy's doesn't give you too much else 20% discount that can only be used when using your macy's credit card

      Pros

      The discount & "Macy's Money" are great. My department manager is very supportive (but totally over-worked). Flexibility with scheduling to a certain degree.

      Cons

      The pressure to open new charge accounts is unreasonable. The constant barrage of sales is ridiculous. The extended hours are gruelling. ...and, unfortunately, alot of the prestige once associated with Macy's is dwindling. The difference between Macy's, Kohl's, & JCPenney is getting harder to discern...it wasn't always that way.
