I applied for what was listed as a part time position for a "Retail Support Associate" online, although the name the employees actually use is more like "Merchandising Associate," "Flex Support," and so on and so forth. The phone interview was relatively easy and the interviewer was nice although I was nervous and it was my first job I ever applied for (the only experience I previously had was volunteering and I used examples from it multiple times in my answers). I applied for this and another position, and basically learned that the job listings that Macy's puts online aren't necessarily always available, because the part time retail associate position I applied for wasn't available (only full time), and the retail stock support position was only on call instead of part time. The interviewer couldn't tell me how often I'd find shifts on call, but I took a risk and accepted the retail stock support position anyway. After the training process my manager told me that the Macy's store I applied to often needed merchandising help, so I got literally any shift I wanted on any day. Although I don't have the" part time" or "full time" title for benefits, I get just as many hours as them if I want, which is perfectly fine with me. If your store needs extra help and you care more about making money on the side than receiving full-time benefits, than being an on-call retail stock support associate is definitely a great way to work as many short or long hours as you want as there's always something that needs to be done.
