Pros

There is NOTHING positive about Macy's. This company reaches a new low each year in regards to its treatment of its employees.

Cons

1. Systematically forcing out employees who are aged 50 and older. They individually tailor their harassment campaign to make it difficult to prove harassment based upon age 2. Don't ever give them any personal information i.e. how many children you have, your hobbies or interests. They will later try to use it against you. 3.This company has consistently become worst each year since it changed from being Rich's Department Store. 4. Sales and support staff are paid so poorly that at one point phone numbers for social service agencies were posted in the employee break room. Meanwhile the CEO receives a 7 million dollar bonus. 5. The employee break room is roach infested, dirty, and lacking ventilation. 6. During the summer months the inside temperatures in many departments reached 80 degrees. 7. Religious intolerance if you work in a Macy's in the bible belt. If your belief system happens to be Pagan or Wicca be prepared to face severe harassment especially during the Christmas holiday season. 8. Harassment and Bullying seem to be an iatrical part of Macy's business philosophy.

Pros

Fellow associates and some management were the only reason I looked forward to being there and the job function itself I always enjoyed

Cons

Hostile work environment , "witch hunts" looking for any excuse to terminate you if you crossed the wrong individual (in my case a regional Loss Prevention manager) their in house "solutions in store" is a joke

Pros

I loved the ladies I worked with, and I received a lot of gratis from working in the cosmetics department

Cons

Training was nill, my boss was a jerk, you get no praise for when you go above and beyond your job duties, and you can tell that corporate does not care at all about their employees. What really made me mad was that they are now open thanksgiving night. That is RIDICULOUS! I guarantee the president gets to stay at home and enjoy his holiday with his family while he forces his employees to work. I wasnt even able to have Thanksgiving dinner with my family last year. Oh and not to mention, they made us all work 10 hour shifts! So not right.
