Pros

employee discount, really meet good talented people here to bad the store does not notice the talent in some people and only hire ignorant people for low positions and just white people for higher positions. and minorities get low management positions or just sales positions.

Cons

the only watch black employees and black customers. other employees and customers will rob the store blind but no one is paying attention to them. One way they will do it is ring up there friends and give them free merchandise and let them walk out the store. plus the dont really check the bags of every employee unless your black or hispanic otherwise other people will walk out with alot of stuff. people will over change there friends on purpose but do it by small amounts so no one will really notice. like give a friend 10 dollar change when they only paid 5.00 for a product because the other products did not get rung up. they will fire a black employee for coming in late a lot but not fire a white employee that always calls out sick. treat everyone equally hire minorities to higher levels not low levels. Customers can tell and will stop spending when they here this and notice these things.

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.
