      Macy's reviews

      My experience working at Macy's

      Seasonal cosmetics sales associate
      Former temporary employee
      Dallas, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Quick hiring process (2 rounds of interview, digital interview and in-person interview, but sometime there is only digital interview round) Competitive pay ($15/hr for seasonal position, $18-$21 for permanent position, cosmetic and jewelry department have commission on top of base pay, cosmetic is 3% commission) Flexible schedule (for seasonal position, you have 100% control of your own schedule, pick your own shift every week. For permanent position, you have partial control of your own schedule, the system will automatically schedule you 3-4 days and you can pick your own shift for other days, schedules are different every week)

      Cons

      Few training and fire quick if you messed up Cosmetic and Jewelry department are very competitive They don't want to tell you this, but they are only hiring older employees for fragrance and jewelry department, the manager don't give a fair chance for younger employees with the same experience

      Pros

      store discount for employees in store

      Cons

      keeping part time employees under from getting full time hours to avoid the opportunity to get health insurance. leaning too hard on night short employees to correct mistakes made during the day
