Request for PTO through Insite
Does anyone know when we can start to request time off through Insite for the coming months (Aug. - Dec.)? ALL the dates are considered “key dates,” so we can’t put in PTO or unavailable days.
Credit craziness!!!
I ask every customer if they have a Macys card. If they don't want one I don't push it. I also ask about Bronze if they don't want a card. Not good enough for my manager. We are on the middle of the EXCEL contest ( like I care ) and we have to get... — read more
Do not work if schedule changes without notice
If a manager changes your schedule without notice simply tell them you cannot work. Keep a printed copy of your original schedule. Also, this is illegal in some states, check the States labor laws. Do not accept calls on days off from managers. IF... — read more
Today we heard that all open job reqs were being frozen
Is the writing on the wall for this company? If we can’t hire for the 10 open jobs how can we stay open. We even have management jobs open too, can we fill those?
This is the last straw
If my schedule gets changed by my manager one more time in the middle of the week without him even bothering to let me know in advance, I'm quitting. I'll just stop showing up altogether. I don't need this cr-p and I don't need to be yelled at for... — read more
Constant changes in the schedule
I know I'm not the only one whose schedule changes constantly, but it's getting unbearable and I'm thinking of quitting even though I really need this job. How do you deal with very frequent schedule changes? Is the only solution to leave?
don’t call me on my day off
Manager calls on day of leaving voicemail after voicemail, four total. Saying they need me at opening tomorrow when I’m scheduled off. Can they harass you on a day off?

The leadership seems disinterested
I've been here for a long time and never before have the leadership seemed less interested in the future of the company. It's as if they've let Macy's go down the drain and are no longer worried about the future of the company at all. That's my... — read more

Store Hours and Memorial Day Weekend Store Hours
This weekend and the weekend of 5/4-5/7 we have unnecessary extended hours again. People are advertising shifts and asking for shift swaps for these days. We don’t need extended hours when we are not busy anyway. Also, for Memorial Day weekend, our... — read more
Some still want to work here
Why would anyone work at Macy's for $15 or $16 an hour when in most markets you can get a job making two or three dollars more an hour. If you work at Macy's, you know that there is seldom enough support to complete the exhaustive workload and never... — read more

Compensation Statements
Compensation in this company is a joke. Working so incredibly hard all year and getting less than a paltry 2% increase is so disheartening. My Store Manager seemed totally unbothered by this. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile they are still giving hourly... — read more
The problem with favoritism
I can't and I don't want to be here much longer. This is definitely a very poorly managed company. I would understand if the managers favored the best employees but instead they favor the biggest slackers who only know how to get out of their... — read more
More full-timers
The open positions at my store are full time. I think the company is swinging the other way, getting more full timers as they will stay longer than part timers. That's what I hear from the office Could this be the truth? I'd welcome a change like... — read more
It is not going to get any better!
Very frustrating day! Big Store, very busy Saturday. We had lines of customers in every apparel area due to great pricing. Everything sounds great, but wait, due to budget constraints we were staffed for a Thursday, not a Saturday. And to add... — read more
Reviews/raises
How come no one is talking about reviews or raises?
Constantly understaffed
How do you deal with this? I'm getting very close to being burnt out.
New return policy
Whose brilliant idea was it to change return policy to 30 days ? 60 is more reasonable especially buying online and the item takes a few days to arrive. My question is. I bought something online 3/12 online. Girl at store says I can’t return to... — read more
ISM could be great (in theory)
In theory, ISM could be a great thing, however, the tenured team is not qualified to do cross over functions. Can you see a merchandiser working on a Saturday night in the men's tailored area, or better yet, an elderly sales colleague coming in... — read more

Mostly heard about cuts in May. There are talks about directors being cut or higher ups. Can’t say if they will cut any associates as of now. They will evaluate where to cut from and who based on ownership of the store. Does anyone know anything... — read more
How is working at Macy's these days?

My job did me dirty

How many of your coworkers have quit since ISM? We seem to be losing somebody on daily bases.
Macy’s in-store maps on app?
Anyone else having trouble accessing the in-store Maps feature that used to be on the Macy’s app? I miss the feature as you could see the layout of particular stores, and it’s like the feature was completely removed.

Is it true that signing is going from back of house colleagues doing it to sales associates or front of house associates setting sales ?
Why cut hours for draw commission???

Fitting rooms
Question. Is it true that they want no z bars in fitting rooms and you must put away clothing right away to keep the total number of rods down? Is this a corporate thing or store by store?
