Pros

If you are flexible and relocatable it is fine, but consolidations will continue as the dept. store giant tries to cut expense in an industry that is losing market share. In the Northwest division the best thing about Macy's was the work life balance they offered and the community outreach programs they were involved with in the community.

Cons

In the Northwest division which is now consolidated and doesn't exist as of May 2nd 2008, there was a huge disconnect between what merchants were compensated vs. the rest of the company. Also, the HR dept was a complete disaster, employees had no real place to turn when they felt they were treated unfairly.

Pros

Good benefits if you can get them.

Cons

No respect from management or customers. All push for getting charges and sales but no consideration for the fact there are too few associates working, too much area to cover by ones self, really bad pay raises (worked for Kaufmann's/Macy's for almost 9 years and do not even make $9 per hour), they've cut vacation time, they've pitted one associate against another for sales and accounts. Used to be fun but not any longer.
