Rude Staff's at Macy's Sacramento Downtown..Unbelievable!

For everyone's information I am not trying to discourage anybody. I come in peace. Just here to let you what happen on December 11, 2007 between the hour of 2:07pm-4:30pm pacific time at the Macy's Sacramento Downtown Westfield Plaza.

The highlight of this discussion is about the hiring staffs who rudely talked behind a potential employee's back. Is this the face of Macy's?

In specific details, before I walked into the human resource door for an interview just to gather some quick information and background on Macy's recruiters, I notice in front of me were two staffs, one with a clipboard walking away from somebody they probably have previously interview at that hour. What I heard and saw with my two own eyes and ears, they appear to be okay but as they turned away walking away from the woman they had talked to, one of the recruiter holding a clipboard said clearly, "Yeah right like you're going to get the position. Whatever." Imagine if the woman heard what she said, this staff WILL get FIRE. During the interview, the staff who said the above negative feedback, stated she hasn't been at Macy's for long.

As surprise as I was, I pretended I heard nothing and walk right through the door.

In the interview room, the interview which took almost four hours long, out of 35 potential people who came for the interview, only 7-10 got the job they applied for.

I don't understand why Macy's do group interviews. I don't think it's serious and personal enough because anyone can get the job just by answering more questions, still it proves nothing. No human is perfect and every human being requires a different approach. There are people who are communicative and then there are people who aren't as communicative, but they shouldn't be judge in this way for 'a' job.

I hope the staff's at the Macy's department store located in Sacramento westfield plaza, clean up their attitude and keep their personal comments to themselves.

In addition, Macy's think they're hiring only good employees but as I notice, there were two current sales associate employees who were dead silent on the sales floor. Who made no eye contact or whatsoever to customers who were walking by and shopping. They appear to me like computer mmorpg addict or night owls who had not enough sleep and just walked in to do their routine work. It was unbelievable why they hire such employee over employees over potential people who came to the interview prepare but just didn't communicated too much compare to the others.

It's really a turn off and group interview does no justice.

I agree with you 100 percent, Macy's needs to train their employees who interview and on the floor much better than that. My friend inteview was a waste of time, because the Macy's in the Pleasanton,CA were so obviously biased agaisn't job applicants.
