Macy's reviews

HR protects Macy's while requiring associates to sign severance documents absolving the store of legal responsibility for any and everything. Your met with blank stares and "that is outside of my authority" when you ask what your financial settlement will be. The minute the store closed associates were blocked and unable to access their information on Macy's internal web site. There is no way to know if you were properly compensated for unused vacation time, hours worked and what your actual severance was. I understand this is good for the stock holders but is an insult to associates who stuck with the store to the very end.

Very poor educational support – about the only training provided was internal and not very good (and usually not technical). Their technology is lagging – a lot of this is due to the tight margins any retail operations runs under – even in a good eco environment. Very little management process / procedures, which they compensate by having lots and lots of unproductive meetings doing dog and pony shows (one positive to this, I got really good at powerpoint slides). If you have a disability, this is a company to avoid – a lot of paperwork that even the EEOC discourages in their policies – and they deny some disability accommodations that other companies do as a normal course of business for everyone (i.e., telecommute, or if you are in the office you are still allowed to call into a meeting bridge – as mentioned before, they big on not just meetings, but physically being present regardless if you have anything to contribute or gain.)
