Pros

Flexible schedule. Cool people to work with. Extrememly laid back compared to other department stores

Cons

Communication between management sucks majorly. ,There is a point system thats associated with attendance. If you use 6 points they will FIRE you. It takes forever to move up, the pay is HORRIBLE, they will start you near minimum wage and aren't willing to negotiate, no matter what your previous experience is... Macy's will hire just about anybody to be their slave for $8 per hour.

Pros

Salary is ok, it's close to home.

Cons

No work life balance - no working from home, no vacations from November through the end of January, poor communication, bad benefits, people leaving faster than they can replace them, poor conduct by management, lack of vision. It's really a pretty bad place to work. I am actively seeking job opportunities outside the company. they hounds you for donations to their pet charities and they are cheap.

Pros

Great entry level job for students; stay at home moms; and retired people. There was also a good discount. Met some great people there.

Cons

The left hand never seemed to know what the right hand was doing and middle management didn't seem to care about the sales associates. The focus was always on sell, sell , sell the credit cards..even to the point of bullying. The schedules were too sporadic.
