Backstabbing is awful
It's not that I have a lot of experience in retail, but I can say that so far I've never experienced as much backstabbing as here. Was it always like that? I don't know how to deal with so much toxicity anymore. I need this job but I have to leave... — read more
Working at Macys
I woke up this morning to a reminder that my job is not my husband, my child, or a dear friend who checks in to make sure I'm doing well. I was not hired to be a parent, a superhero, or a miracle worker. Therapy taught me that I needed to be more... — read more
Maps feature on the Macys app?
Does anyone know if the store maps feature is ever going to make a comeback? It’s been months now and that was my favorite part of the app as it showed the layout of every store. It’s hard to navigate customers on the app as the in-store signage... — read more

Does anyone know if it is ok for leaders to take stuff home that was keyed out as MOS? We have always had to throw stuff away and now leaders are doing MOS and taking the stuff home. Really confused!!
The results will not change anything
That's my personal opinion, that survays are just a waste of time. Does anyone really think that they are interested in what we think in order to improve the workplace? It's so naive to think that because they certainly don't care about it in... — read more
Hey Macy's, you need to bring back your VM's because your stores are looking like dumpster fires!
Not only Visual Managers, but colleagues that actually want to be happily employed. Right now you have long standing employees that for some reason are still loyal, you got People Leaders that are not trained properly, floor colleagues that really... — read more
Retail is dying a slow death ... Thanks to buying directly from China and AI

Nike and under armor
I hear they’re coming back? Guess leaving the department stores was a bad idea huh?
Macys needs to invest in their current stores instead of new stores!!
With all these smaller format Macy’s stores opening, I scratch my head. I know quite a few of currently open Macy’s locations that are a dump. Remodel and make the stores more visually appealing, add more inventory so there’s no empty space. You’re... — read more

Toddler maimed by mannequin at macys
So million+ lawsuit about to hit Macys for causing sever injuries to a toddler with a mannequin. What are you visual people doing honestly? Possibly the most useless job at Macys.
For those who are planning to change companies
Most retail jobs are similar. They all have the same stress and all have to deal with the same toxic people so leaving Macy's will not guarantee you'll be better off even if you are paid more. What you need to look for is a place that has good... — read more
