Pros
Since turnover is so high, most requests for time off are honored because they don't want you to quit. Macy's does give back to communities and are activiely going green. The new employee portal allows you to manage your paycheck online and direct deposit goes through fairly quickly. Schedules are posted for your next two weeks so it is easy to schedule appointments and other personal things. It's a job and those are hard to come by in this economy, but $8.25 an hour does not buy too much.
Cons
You HAVE to open new credit accounts or you will be fired. Customers get tired of being asked and can get really rude. Open positions are filled before they are posted so you really don't get a chance to show interest. I have only seen my store manager once and I have worked here for almost a year. They pay is the pits. I work part-time and I have to pay for parking at the mall if I work on the day shift during the week. Most of the managers are too stressed to give you feedback, and you rarely see them during your shifts. Customers often use the fitting rooms as the restroom so there is always a funny smell in them.
