Vantaggi

Working as a designer at Macy's corporate will teach you the ropes on how to present creative ideas to execs, working within production timeline and partnering with cross functional teams - product, CAD, and technical design team

Svantaggi

Macy's is a very corporate place to work. During my time here, the design team wasn't even allowed to wear jeans other than on Fridays (even the teams that designed casual or denim items). Creativity is encouraged but the focus is on more interpersonal skills (which is good thing) but not if you are seeking opportunities that value out of the box thinking and design concepts. The customer base is very stale and don't take well to concepts that are too far from what they know. The design teams aren't led by executives of diverse backgrounds (varies from brand to brand) and this shows in how persons of color are perceived and treated within their less than diverse teams. Getting promoted is not easy as the designers held on high regard have mostly worked their way through the ranks and have been their for quite sometime. If you work hard, and there is room - maybe you can get promoted. Much of the design work is reworking old tried and true bodies into semi new fabrics or maybe tweeking a trim. The body blocks are old and the same.

Vantaggi

you get ok pto even as a part timer, not physically demanding, good A/C and heating depending on the weather.

Svantaggi

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.
