Working at Bloomingdale's in New York City, NY: 10 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"Unless you are part-time so it’s not a full focus and you like the selling then go ahead. Between the unhelpful managers and zero support, you’re doing a lot of fending for yourself. The work environment is very toxic and unsettling. It’s kind of a hot mess, there’s no real room or support for growth."

"I've worked for Bloomingdale's for 10 years and have had the privilege of seeing it evolve over the times. From my experience, I have seen the executive team stay for more than 20+ years. They haven't adapted to change as quickly as other companies do and are still pretty focused on Store business services, not on technology or the online business. They aren't very cutting edge in their tools, resources, culture mindset, and aren't strong in career curation. The people are nice, but the senior leadership doesn't listen to their people, and the HR teams are still quite antiquated in their skillset and processes."

"Unfortunately due to the financial crisis, it is highly unlikely Bloomingdales will continue to hire new employees. However, the culture there was very pleasant and fellow colleagues were a pleasure to work with."
