Pros

I can't think of any pros except that it was close to where I live.

Cons

The management team is not professional. One of my bosses even asked why I had to see the doctor when I told her that I had an appointment, but later denied asking me that question. This is clearly against the privacy law. Also, the compensation is not competitive with the current market, and the management has no knowledge of technology. It is very political; you need to flatter your boss to get a promotion. Even the promotion is on average less than a 3% raise of your base salary. There are 35% people working and 65% talking most of the 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.
