A lot of expectations from part timers
I am a part-timer here and I don't know how it came to be that I am expected to work as if I were a full-timer. Anyone else with such experience? I am literally drained and planning to leave Macy's.
Inventory readiness
How is everyone feeling about inventory? I’ve been literally working myself to death for the last 3 weeks getting stockrooms ready, and I just pray that I make it through 5 consecutive overnights. I am running out of steam at this point. Scared for... — read more
New years day pay.
Do we get paid extra if we worked new years day???
When was the last time this company did something right for its employees?
The answer is: never. Macy's has never done anything right to benefit its employees. It's all about greed and more money for those who sit on the top and have no idea what we have to go through each day to keep this place running. I wish for one day... — read more

Working at Macy's, credit?
I would love to work at Macy's.....I have a problem with promoting credit. I do not believe in this, gets people in trouble. Can I be a sales person without having to sell credit?
Hours cut
My hours have not been cut, at least not yet, but I was a little surprised by someone's post about their hours being cut. Is it possible that this company is cutting hours while missing so many employees? I hope it's not true.

Rearranging the departments
I think that Macy’s is a very segmented company that has great potential in its higher performing stores, while the lower performing stores really should be focused on discounts. The growth stores especially are actually really great department... — read more

One of the worst holiday seasons
I can't recall it ever being more tiring and at the same time more depressing to work at Macy's than this holiday season. You?
Why do they do it?
The more micromanaged I am, the more likely I am to make mistakes, and the level of micromanagement is enormous. However, my manager doesn't understand that, or perhaps he enjoys putting pressure on us. He says that he wants to make it easier for... — read more
