Pros

They are relatively flexible if you need time off for an appointment or to work from home for a day. The pay is reasonable and the office is relatively nice. Having a walking trail and small gym are nice perks. Vacation time scales upwards with time on job.

Cons

Often treated poorly by management. Completely unrealistic goals set by management by statements such as "Size this project, the project is due on X date" - before the sizing was ever done. Employees are intentionally kept in the dark about how projects and applications work together. Fear of lay offs. Long hours with no compensation while being asked for hourly updates. Poor communication and conflicting interests between FOBs. Environment is becoming less diverse over time, particularly in management. People are shared between many projects at once, often your allotment is well over 100%. System of promoting employees bottlenecks relatively low and if your manager prefers it to be so, you will never get promoted or be able to move to a different manager.

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.
