Macy's reviews

I feel career stagnation after about the 3rd year there but stayed around a few years more thinkingt things would change. I was made to believe I could move over into another area if I completed my development plan to move in that direction but that never happened so I ended up going elsewhere. Salary was so so. Yearly raises are like 2%. Even if your brand does really well not everyone who contributed to the success of the brand, necessarily gets a bonus, especially if you are in a "support area" That was disappointing.

opening up credit cards. they really push for this and sometimes managers would hover over you especially if you're new. they want to make sure you're advertising the macy's credit card to every customer. they want you to make your sales goals consistently which is hard in some departments because of how empty and deserted some stores are. it doesn't matter how hard you tend to customers, how you engage, or how well you straighten and tidy up your department. if you're not meeting your sales goal and/or opening up enough cards they come down on you. training is ridiculous. you train on computers in the back when you first start but once you get out on the floor it's so different. and there are so many options and ways to do things. my coworkers helped me out so much when i first started, they were the ones who trained me so thank you to them. coupons and promotions hardly ever worked so customers would get upset at all the exclusions. and who can blame them. management didn't guide or support. they just walked around for no reason doing nothing.
