Pros

The people are what make the company tick. Because of the overwhelming amount of time you work, friendships with your coworkers are the upside to the job.

Cons

The salaries are a joke. You work extremely long hours, weekends, holidays and unless you are an entry level hourly employee you don't get paid for that time. The company's philosophy is to do more with less. If the job takes 3 people to do, one will suffice. In this instance since you are the sole person responsible for a project that requires multiple people to accomplish you will work your hardest not to be deemed a failure. You do so as you have no one else to back you up and say that the workload is too much.

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.
