Pros

Great relationships have been made. If you want to work for a cutting ede company where you can grow don't come here. If you are content with where you are in life and looking for a place to retire Macy's Systems and Technology the place for you

Cons

Macy's is behind the times with the way the company is run. The majority management and employee pool is full of people who have never worked for another company and are out of touch with how things have changed over the decades. The benefits suck and insurance is the highest I've ever encounterd. The technolgy center is treated like a red haired step child compared to the other locations like Macys.com divisions and the business divisions.

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.
