"I really enjoy being able to work independently and with a team to build sales and educate surgeons and hospital employees about the products I represent. It is a good feeling to know that I played a small role in helping a patient improve their life.I don't like how highly competitive the industry is, but it helps keep one motivated to be the best one can by keeping up with current and upcoming technologies, knowing your competitors' products, and the needs of your clients."

Sales Associate at Macy's
in Chicago, IL

What do you like about working at Macy's?

"Working with the public. Making a connection with everyday individuals, the team that I work with, peer support, and the desire to determine my own paycheck."

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

"Run away as far as you possibly can. If you do decide to stay for the interview, just nod your head and agree with everything they say. My interview wasn't nearly an interview as it was them trying to make me take the job with trying to win me over with the perks of being a Macy's employee (although, you find when you're with the company that the perks that won you over to the company are non-existent). If you're an upbeat and positive person that wish to stay upbeat and positive, do not apply for this company. They do not treat employees fairly or compensate them accordingly. When a company is trying to make work for them on the first interview, it's not a good idea to commit. I found that out the hard way."

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

"The micromanagement, constantly being under the scope for things that you do, and if you do something great, management want to know if you can make it 'better'. Cutting our commission for being the highest grossing store because we made 'too much money'. Not being rewarded for breaking previous records or given employee appreciation at no level. The benefits packages. Management constant dotting and belittlement of any and every issue because they don't want to be bothered. Working in an windowless environment and not having good infrastructure in our stockrooms. The ability not to move up within the company."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I'd bring back the old commission scales that made the employees strive to be better, bring back the rewards programs that recognized the people who go above and beyond, not dot or harass employees or pick away at certain employees that voice their opinions about certain practices they deem as unfair or unethical, hold company appreciation days where we'd give employees a nice get together setting, increase the benefits, try to build company morale again and invite friendly competition among it's workers."

in Indiana, PA

"They want to hear nothing else but that you are driven to make your sales and you are all about getting that customer to spend."

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

"The sales per hour thing makes everyone so competitive they become backstabbers and end up stalking the customers to get that sale. It's a place where if you don't make your sales then you're fired or your wages are deducted. Dillard's has made a very hostile work environment. There is a lot of drama on who stole whose sales."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Reviews should not only reflect on your sales per hour, but on how you maintain your workspace. This store is a pigsty."
