Vantaggi
They do give medical/dental benefits right away which is a big plus! Easy to move up, lots of upward movement available.
Svantaggi
The onboarding and training process is very poorly designed. It's not effective at teaching unless you're able to sit at a computer for hours watching videos, reading policies, and actually absorb information in that way. There's very little actual hands on learning as an option, and almost all of the things I learned and actually prepared were learned on my own. My experience is that leadership does not adequately communicate expectations nor do they expressly communicate them. Policies are difficult to track down in written form after completing orientation. I was unable to find a written dress code after looking for months. PTO or sick time is not available to employees until one year of employment. I was hired and primarily working during the winter months when people commonly get sick. I got sick with the flu, covid, and an upper respiratory infection within a 6 week time period. Only my covid absences were considered excused, and even if I had a doctor's note, Macy's as a company doesn't accept doctor's notes as a reasonable accommodation for any absence relating to illness. I had complained about harassment to my People Leader and I was dismissed repeatedly. After repeat complaints of harassment I was ultimately let go due to my "repeated" absences which were illness related or emergency related (Emergency Room visits, blown out tire on car) Do not work for this company if you value work/life balance because this company celebrates people coming to work ill and rewards you for pushing yourself beyond what is healthy to the human body and mind.
