Working in the Macy's corporate office is like nothing I have ever experienced at previous companies (and I have worked for several retailers). The culture is horrific; upper management is all in it for themselves and treats assistants/associates extremely poor. I came into the EDP program so excited to be there and work for Macy's Corporate but it was NOTHING I had ever expected it to be.
Supervisor support is extremely poor. Quality of work is not valued, instead you get in trouble for minor, irrelevant instances. WAY too many office politics.
All the directors (buyers, digital merchants, VPs) that got to their level got there by selling their soul to corrupt values and morals of the company.
In my short time at the company, WAY too many assistants and associates have quit due to poor company culture and supervisor support, to the point where HR was raising suspicions/rolling out extended benefits to try to keep talent. Unfortunately, nothing they can do solves the real issues. What does this say about the company?
Wondering why Macy's is constantly filling 200+ Merchant Executive Development Program positions per year? Because nearly EVERY assistant leaves this company after about a year. Keep on wasting money training people that leave for better jobs/companies due to the internal chaos. Absolute insanity.
