Pros

The only pro to this job is the ability to work from home which is also a con if you are new in your career.

Cons

1. Stagnant Career Growth: Limited mobility and promotion opportunities are impacting employee financial stability and motivation. I stayed for 3.5 years and I was given more work with no extra pay. 2. HR Oversight: The absence of robust HR support is hindering effective team management and resolution of interpersonal conflicts. 3. Work-Life Balance: Employees are experiencing excessive work hours, including weekends, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. 4. Leadership Deficiency: A lack of strong leadership from directors and associates is undermining morale and impeding the achievement of strategic goals. 5. Employee Well-being: Instances of harassment and bullying are being inadequately addressed, posing risks to employee well-being and the company's reputation. high turnover because of constant lay offs 6. Addressing these issues requires proactive measures to promote career advancement, strengthen HR support, implement work-life balance initiatives, enhance leadership training, and swiftly address misconduct for a healthier work environment and sustained organizational success.

Pros

I loved the people that I worked with. Everyone was such a delight to work with. Everyone I worked with pulled their weight and our jobs got done.

Cons

I personally don't have any cons to say. I LOVED my position.

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.
