Working at Macy's in New York City, NY: 17 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"the current work environment is just ok! I hope high level management can know the true status of team!"

"I've worked for Macy's since 2017. It's a great place to work with lots of training and development options. This is a great place to learn new skills and also to learn about the operations of a major retailer."

"great company willing to develop its people. It is the people you work with that make the job great."

"Lots of disfunction between all the restructures. A lot off bosses have some big personalities like they are out of the movie "The Devil Wears Prada,""

"I've worked at macys for 3 years, a great place to gain experience and start your career"

"I worked for Macy's for 11 years. It was a great company to kick off my career and allowed for growth and cross over into other areas of the company."

"I worked at Macy's for almost 11 years. I find that they truly strive toward putting the customer at the forefront of all decisions. The pay is not that great and corporate / office politics are terrible"

"Macy's had the nicest and most wonderful customers which is what kept me going every day and made the work day shorter. The pay is dismal and when I was offered a full-time opportunity the manager said that benefits weren't included (health insurance has to be by law). Most of the managers have been there for years so there's very little chance for advancement, even into the corporate offices. During my time working there, I can count on one hand the number of times that I saw the store manager stop by my department. When he did, he interrupted us while we were talking to a customer, saying something totally unrelated to the ongoing conversation. District managers came by about monthly, attended morning meetings and walked through the store. I never once saw them talk to or even smile at any of the employees. It was as if the non-management worker was lower class and didn't exist. There is little reward for hard work unless you sell extras like applying for a credit card. Even then, the pay is Macy's money so you can buy items at Macy's. In many cases, employees that do minimal are treated the same as conscientious employees. Within departments, tiny mistakes are treated as major offenses rather than coaching opportunities. As far as mistakes go, the corporate office was more forgiving of the little things and better about seeing the big picture."

"I loved working there. Actually I cried on my last day but had no choice. I was offered $20,000 dollars more a year. However, I didn't care for the HR department, they said anytime I wanted to come back I could. I have tried numerous times and never was able to go back. Meanwhile they did everything to try to keep me there."

"This is a great company, however the management of the department are not fostering of good working relationships with other departments. They also do not grow the teams or work on team morale."

"It was my seasonal job but a great job, none the less."

"13 years of work dedication with Macy's. My title is senior manager/senior database administrator, managing 15 servers for IT department, managing 3 VM servers, creating strong programming infrastructure which includes staging, development and production environment."

"Great place to work at, to grow and expand your work experience."

"I have worked with Macy's for five years now. It is a Fortune 500 company that has great benefits and lots of opportunity depending on your field."

"Not a bad job in all if you are looking to start your career in fashion design and develop relationships with brand vendors and get insight as to how large scale retail works. But as far as a career I wouldn't make it my path. More of a learning experience. Management is very conflicting. One day you may be told this is how we do things here, and the next day you will find yourself working on a project that completely conflicts with what you were told is acceptable."
