Macy's Employer Reviews

A typical day at work was to help people get what they need as fast I could of. I also learned about costumer service because I was a sales associate.

Loved being around many different people everyday. The environment with the different co workers was positive.

Worked on floor with clothes racks.
Directed customers to garments.
Worked alone seasonal.
Restocked racks and shelves.
hardest part standing in heels for hours with no seat.

Macy's is a good place to work. They have good insurance and other benefits and there is always someone available to listen to you.

The environment is okay. Considering I've been there for a while I have seen the company shift to hiring more on-call associates which makes the jobs harder for full time and part time associates left. The job itself is not hard and if you are looking for some extra money it is not a bad place to work.

The typical day consist of cashiering and merchandising. I've learned the value of customer courtesy. The management was never really available unless needed by staff for serious issues. The hardest part of the job was keeping the money the company paid you, your money because there is always something to buy! The most enjoyable part of the job is the – more... discount. – less

Worked with different cultures & gained a great deal of customer service attributes

It is okay to work at Macy's. However, in my personal opinion, from experience a day at Macy's can drag if there are barely any customers.

My typical day would consists of ringing up customers merchandise and also helping them find what they came in looking for. I also had to make sure the store stayed neat and organized.

Managers and employees were great to work with because I learned a lot from them everyday.

Options to try differnt jobs
Learned about the business of Retail

the management was ok the hours were bad the co workers weren't bad

I start my day at about 7 AM and I greet everyone and then I have a chart with several duties to finish each day. I learned a lot about Macy's way of putting things, or tagging things and lots of things I never knew about. Management Is very well organized, better then the companies I have worked for. People are just really down to earth. Hardest part – more... is not knowing something and trying to figure it out on your own before asking an associate. The most enjoyable part is being able to make a difference through working hard and knowing that anything you do there is being acknowledged. – less

I love working with the public and like working in the environment of Macy's although there is no consistency in the days of work. Each week your schedule is different which is hard on a single mother who is in school and trying to work full time hours. Sales goals are astronomical and unobtainable unless you do nothing but ring customers all day long – more... and leave the area a mess for other associates to clean. They say team work but its impossible with individual goals. – less

A typical day at macys was fast pased and this was during the holiday season. I learned how to work their cashier machines, which were hard. the manager was strict but if you had a problem she would try her best to work things out with you. The hardest part of the job was working during rush hours. the most enjoyable part was the discounted lunch.

working at Macy's was my first job and it is a great job to have you know being in a work environment with where people enjoy being around other people .even though we had a few bad co-workers it was still great you had mangers who wanted to see everyone do great and go up the ladder of the company. the best part of working there to me was making that – more... connection with the guest and making them laugh smile because that meant you were doing something right but sometimes it was hard cause you might run in to a few rude guest but at the end it was worth it – less

A typical day included opening and placing new items.
I learned that it's a process getting items to the store floors.
Management was stressed and stressed their workers in turn.
My co workers were a joy to work with.
The hardest part was feeling like you didn't matter.
The most enjoyable was making new friends at work.

Working at Macy's was a good place to learn how to work by multitasking. I learned skills in customer service. The co-workers are helpful when needed. The jobs are really not hard but just making sure that you do your job in a timely manner is whats most important. The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with customers.

The design team I work with is a very close knit group. We are more like a family. We try to keep the workplace fun and take time to celebrate with eachother, for birthdays, good reviews, etc. A typical day would consist of answering emails from our overseas office, working with the Head Designer on what needs to be completed, work with the Technical – more... Designers on fit samples and work with the CAD Designer on Prints and Patterns. There is a lot of paperwork that is involved with being a Design Assistant. We create development packages to send to vendors, source out fabrics to overseas and other administrative work. – less

Management will hound you about sales goals and credit goals.

I got along with my co workers for the most part, but there are always the few who are out to steal sales and cause drama within the area.
