Pros

They provide vacation days and benefit days..well they did until recently...They offer 20% discount.. If you have a set schedule then it makes the job more enjoyable.

Cons

This place just did a bunch of cuts that involved all the full time employees, most of them have been dropped to part time hours..people who have been with this company for many years are getting let go when they are now at ages where it may be hard to find new jobs and this has been their only source of income for so long..it was very upsetting to watch happen. They are pretty much trying to micromanage the store, people who started only recently that were doing the same job as me got moved up quickly to positions that I was actually in school for and I wasn't even CONSIDERED! They play favorites and don't see the actual work you put in if you're not a favorite of theirs..I don't see most stores in Tampa staying around too much longer..And the pay could be better..some people that were with the company for 5 years had only received a dollar raise in all that time!

Pros

you get ok pto even as a part timer, not physically demanding, good A/C and heating depending on the weather.

Cons

very low pay compared to other businesses, you only get a 40 cent raise every year. same playlist consisting of 15 songs on repeat and it drives you crazy as time goes on. very inconsistent hours they rarely give morning shifts, you only get the more undesirable shifts like closing which ends at 9:30pm. the sales goals will be exceeded and they hours will still be cut especially around the holiday season. numerous amounts of time where i am left alone at the register on a busy day with no backup and still expected to clean fitting rooms and recover the floor with no help. overall no room for growth, started when i was 18 and am now 20 and have not even been considered or offered a higher position, 2 tiny raises is all i got. i overall feel like my position is bottom of the barrel compared to asset protection, jewelry department, and fragrance sales because they get paid better and make commission while doing less easier work. would not recommend and if you do end up working at a Macys use the experience you have and never stop applying to jobs because there really is no growth here.
