Vantaggi
Good beginning for anyone interested in the field of retail or management. Management at my location is fine, although the same can't be said for any other location. Flexible for high school/college students. Depending on your competency, you are allowed some sort of independence (at least in merchandising, not true for sales).
Svantaggi
TERRIBLE PAY!!!! I started in 2004 when min. wage was 5.15, and I was getting paid 6.50 from the start. It has taken less than 10 years to get to my 8.83. Management is hired from outside the company. Meaning, anyone with a Bachelor's in Management but no knowledge of how Macy's is run, is hired...Hmm.....No one has ever "worked their way up". Macy's rarely satisfies the customer, so be prepared to come across frustated customers.
