Pros

First shot at merchandise and sales and clearance items Some of the coworkers are friendly Gets busier than a lot of other stores, so less boring time doing nothing

Cons

Everything Pay (You will always be in poverty if you work there and aren't a store or section manager) Work-life balance (Expect to live there, and not see family or friends much if at all) Managers (Worthless, stupid, just huff and puff all day, basically lucky to make what they make) Training (Too short, management forces you to hurry through it so you can get out to the sales floor) Lack of rights or caring about emplyoee's (it's like a conveyor belt of employees they have) Force you to push credit cards, little to no gain for you though Respect (Only employee's who matter in the store are store managers, section managers, security. Earning Potential (Even though sales are up, your pay there wont be, or not by much at all) Everyone else is worthless to them. Hard to care about your job or the company if they spit in your face like that all the time, and cant even treat you like a human being.

Pros

You get a lot of down time for most of the year, and you SOMETIMES come across nice customers to talk to.

Cons

The people here do not train you! They just give you a computer test, then send you on the sales floor with no knowledge of the products. And if you make a mistake, due to improper training, then they get on your case. And the Loss Prevention doesn't care about you. They will use unethical interrogation techniques for their benefit! They think they are above the law, and they will ignore the truth to make themselves look good.

Pros

Great relationships have been made. If you want to work for a cutting ede company where you can grow don't come here. If you are content with where you are in life and looking for a place to retire Macy's Systems and Technology the place for you

Cons

Macy's is behind the times with the way the company is run. The majority management and employee pool is full of people who have never worked for another company and are out of touch with how things have changed over the decades. The benefits suck and insurance is the highest I've ever encounterd. The technolgy center is treated like a red haired step child compared to the other locations like Macys.com divisions and the business divisions.
