Pros
-Worked with friendly people -Spent a lot of time laughing if the right people were scheduled -I worked in the Dress department, and had an amazing manager (until she got a better management position at Lord & Taylor's) -Was always encouraged to be a manager (although, the managers would always just say that and never explain how to go about it) -EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT (was only 20%, but with Macy Money and coupons, it helped out) -Good amount of hours in other departments if I wanted to pick up any extra shifts
Cons
-They pay you...horribly. For the amount of "magic" that I had spewing form my mouth, you would think they would compensate you for being that ridiculous. -I hated the dress code--I love wearing black, but all black everything was annoying. -Morning meetings consisted of the store manager basically telling you to "push" store credit cards on customers -Was offered a position at Origins (cosmetics and skin care), but turned it down after I had to do a phone interview with the head of sales for the company. I'm all set, I just wanted more money and to get free make-up. Let's be honest here. -Daily goals were a waste of time. If you had a sales goal of 1000, they never took into account the pace of the department you were working in. If you're in home, you can meet it in an hour, other departments, not so much. -Not all departments are commission. I think this company would have so much more going for it, if they gave their employees some incentive to reach their goals. It doesn't have to be a lot of money, but if I'm selling all of this product for you, that's the least you could do.
