Pros

Macy's has a great deal of opportunity, it is what you make of it. It is great experience working for a large corporation. It all depends on what position you are in, stores are fun to work in but corporate is not too exciting, all depends if you are in the right position for your personality and skills. Don't work at a store if you don't like dealing with people. Customers get mad and if you can't deal with it don't work in retail.

Cons

Retail hours are never fun but you know that going in to it. Like everywhere else there are politics for promotions but you can always choose to leave if things aren't going your way. Some people have been in positions too long and lose focus and reality.

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.
