Macy's reviews

They don't train anyone enough in this place, not associates, not managers and not even their support assocciates. They have all kinds of loopholes to keep things under wrap so that managers keep their jobs and this makes it all the more difficult to work here. Their HR dept is corrupt and inneffective, a lot of their managers are needed to go back into training--as sales associates! There were unresolved issues and managers were innappropriate a lot, yet they always kept their jobs and positions. They expect too much of other specific associates and only acknowledged the associates that kissed up to the managers. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy, this company is a joke and a disappointment. Not enough back up, the managers make associates look incompetent and stupid in front of customers. Over the years, their integrity and mission have truly taken a turn for the worse. Every dept was always understaffed at closing and yet they expected so much more than was possible. I cannot stress it enough, if you are looking to work retail; GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! this job is a nightmare and you get so much older the longer you are there. I feel bad for anyone working there because of how hostile the environment is. Macy's, i will never ever go back to you! This job is not worth the time, effort or the stress you put into it.

Management is attempting to save on long term employment costs by firing as many people as possible via methods such as strict time keeping standards that do not accept doctors notes, show storms, family death as excuses. Employees are often treated in demeaning manners. Store manager Kathy Weaver was so vile in her treatment of people in our store that many worked on the selling floor in tears. She threatened to fire people almost daily. Weaver also strictly rationed food at company events. Employees were constantly monitored. Extreme favoritism. Macy's only wants newly hired people. The longer that one works there, the worse that they are treated. Management bonuses maximized at government expense. They take the tax incentives to hire new people , pay very little, and push experienced tenured people to the door. Payroll costs go down, bonuses go up, and more of our staff are on medicaid & food stamps. We have had homeless people on staff.
