Bloomingdale's Employer Reviews

Overall Great place to work. Everyday I learned how to manage new tools and machinery.

If you are a merchant, and excellent environment. Co-workers are great. The company can be a little siloed by department.

its a great company,fun place good people always something going on

Lots of initiatives started but very often not followed up on. Associates often have the run with very little accountability. Makes for a more stressful than necessary atmosphere.

We used to refer to our associates as the "store family". Since that time there has been a revolving door of senior and sales management. There is no continuity, weak leadership, no sense of loyalty.

This was my first job after graduating FIDM. I learned a lot and met some great people.

learned alot about retail in a short period of time. long hours and hard working. you walk away with a great work ethic and strong customer service skills.

A typical day at work was about selling to the clients, merchandising, clienteling, Inventory, meeting with my regional manager.
I gained product knowledge on numerous products and brands
The management was great. They were available and helpful.
My coworkers were fine.
I wouldn't say that their was a truly difficult part of the job.
Most enjoyable – more... part was building a good rapport with the clients – less

I was able to develop sales & customer service skills.

If you like the fashion industry Bloomingdale's is the place to start your career.

They carry upscale designers.

I really enjoyed to worked for Bloomingdale's . A company where you can learn a lot and grow as well. Nice co-workers , very supportive management, They provide all what you need to run you own business and being successful at the same time.

Working for Bloomingdale's was a very good experience, enjoyed every single day worked, and regreated living this job, there was realy no hard parts of this job looking it from every single angle.
Great place to work at.

I was a sales associate in the children's department from when the store opened and then for about four years after. It was great to watch the business grow, as well as watch the kids grow up. I loved my coworkers, we were like one big family. Overall, it was an amazing learning experience.

I enjoy what I do, I sell, merchandise, and solve customer issues. I work with an incredible team, but, the management is sometimes questionable.

If you enjoy fashion, shopping, standing on your feet for hours, and recommending products to individuals than this job is for you. They provide good hours, competitive pay rate, and supportive management.The coworkers are also friendly (depending on what floor you are on). Hardest part of the job would be commuting to work (take a taxi, bus, or have – more... a friend/family drive you) since parking in the attached garage is ridiculously expensive, being on your feet on a cement floor (buy some comfortable shoes or suck it up butter cup), and finding something productive to do besides stand around. Perks would be that the store is close to a lot of other great stores along Michigan Ave. – less

I got paid to do what I love. I was able to create mockups for window displays. Work on visual displays and touchup work using photoshop illustrator etc. I loved it. This was the internship that made me want to be retail.

The most enjoyable part of my job was finding new and interesting ways to make the merchandise appealing to clients. I learned how to sdapt quickly and manage my time so projects can get finished. A typical work day involved processing new merchandise, doing price changes and completing projects.

first hand look at retail; learned about commission-based earnings and how to deal with certain associates. Beautiful place to work and met quite a few nice people some of whom I still have a relationship with. Enjoyed meeting customers who truly valued my opinion also met some customers who were a total challenge.

I learned how to use a invetory gun and how to check invetory and stock

Great learning experience and growing environment. Learned a lot about myself and my abilities as a sales woman.

I clocked in through the cash register, opened up the bank
and start checking what is new and what we need to pull
from stock.

Retail is always interesting, I learned even more about the
art of selling for high end designers.

My co-workers were a pleasure, stressed about meeting their
goals, "plan" in this economy, but they always took time out
to – more... tell me how much I helped them on a daily basis.

The hardest part of the job was just staying up with the crowds,
you have to move quickly, think quickly and keep a high energy
level.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the interaction with
clients, their stories, their smile – less
