Working at Macy's in Arlington, VA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Arlington, VA Area

"Great opportunity for career growth."

"I have worked at Macy's for a little over a year and the growth potential is less than favorable. No work life balance which is hard to even take a vacation. Your email is connected to your mobile phone and running a signature business requires me to be available all times for vendors."

"Macy's was a great place to start working right after graduation from makeup school. But it made me realize how much more potential I had."

What do you like about working at Macy's?

"It opened my eyes to how competitive the cosmetics industry is, and all the profit to be made. Macy's taught me a lot about customer service as well."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Make sure you know what your job really is. What the majority of your day will consist of, a lot of the positions do not maintain a lot of responsibility or change in your day. There are good benefits and Macy's is a busy store so you won't be bored."

What don't you like about working at Macy's?

"I didn't feel I was allowed to use my skills as much as I would have liked. The days became a bit repetitive, you're forced to stand in one area all day, every day, and I would have liked to move more and been more free to expand my ideas and creativity."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"To give the sales consultants more of an incentive to work for. Keep things more interesting in the work place."
