Pros of working at Macy's

Everything, prior to the COVID shutdown. The pay was weak, but everything else was great so I made & did my best with professionalism and and very upbeat and outstanding work ethic and disposition.

Cons of working at Macy's

The pay was week and when I came back post COVID shut down, the work load was overwhelming because we operated with half of our staff and the traffic of business was that of what a “normal “ flow would be if it were the holiday season.

Macy's benefits

The employee discount and the incentive received when a new credit account was opened, along with rewards for different contests that were held.

The people who are my colleagues are incredible. I love that we have people who are old, young, gay, straight, trans, black, white, you name it,

Cons of working at Macy's

The culture is ancient and unyielding to the new. the pay is low, the time off they give you is stingy and only 6 days and sometimes less, based on how much time you have taken off. It's kind of a nightmare.
