Working at Macy's in Dallas, TX: 6 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Dallas, TX Area

"I worked for Macy's four years. First three were great, last one, disorganized, bad management. If you think of working there, don't believe them when they say you are an "empowered employee" and can make decisions without calling a manager. Do it, and if they don't like your decision you are fired."
