As far as I know, training employees is a key part of retail business. I am completely dissatisfied with the training here. I couldn't even imagine that I would have such a difficulty starting job somewhere. Why is the training at Macy's so poor? Has training ever been better here?

No training. You either sink or swim and left to your own devices most of the time. But you have to open credit, OK?
Training at Macy’s?? What’s that?
Spend less on the woke agenda you are pushing and spend some money on training.
I was training a new guy yesterday they put him with me in a busy department with no pin# so how is he supposed to get the experience of learning how to ring . He watched me but I don't see how it does anything. I wanted to gave him ring easier sales to get used to the keyboard. Stupid
Too much turnover so we are tired of training and being shadowed when we’re not trainers or managers
Sears was the same way. Absolutely no training at all. The Sears business plan continues here at Macy's.
This has been always the culture of Macy's, poor training and with ISM rolling out there's no training for product knowledge.. New colleagues needs to figure things out by themselves.
Post quarantine the workload is so hefty, there's either no one to train the new people or they can't in between the tasks and customers.
Macy's has always done a poor job at training new colleagues. They get thrusted onto the battlefield not even knowing the basics sometimes. For a company claiming to want the best, they could do better. This has been a common complaint especially in more recent years.
NO!
