      I worked at Macy's part-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Boss was friendly, pleasant to work at, pay was decent for hours worked, an overall pleasant experience, would work here again

      Cons

      Long hours, long way to travel, would be helpful if there were more stores in rural areas. Small nitpick, as I don't have a car.

      Advice to Management

      More stores in rural locations
