At my store, we already have seasonal workers and as usual most of them are getting better hours than regular associates. They are asked “When CAN you work?” and therefore, most of them are not closing.

Anyone else have glitches with Insite?
When I log onto insite, it doesn’t show my home icons or messages or anything. It’s been like that all day today. I didn’t quit or resigned. It’s as if I am a former colleague or something. I asked someone and they said it’s a glitch. It’s just very... — read more
Men’s Department
As a guy who used to really like shopping at Macy’s, Macy’s men’s department has really suffered lately! The suits and overall dressy apparel have really shrunk. If I go get high in clothing like that I usually end up at Dillards or Nordstrom. The... — read more
Will Macy’s off-mall bet pay off?
I enjoyed this article a little too much. My favorites are ... "“That just is so laughable, ..." in reaction to Mastronardi's ridic claim "What does fashion mean anymore to these people in this local community?" "How much do you spend to elevate the... — read more
Renovations?
I’m curious what the process of the renovations are? Most stores are still very original and dated. It may go as far as turn certain locations around completely. The completely Renovated locations are very nice and actually pretty shoppable! — read more
When are they laying off?
Other retailers and non-retail businesses have started layoffs, either from over-estimating the post-pandemic rebound and/or inflation pushing consumers away from apparel. When are layoffs coming for stores and corporate? Is there anyone left in... — read more
They seem to ignore the turnover
As far as I'm concerned, turnover is a huge problem for this company, but it seems to me that the leadership ignores the seriousness of this problem. I think ISM has increased turnover because people are more dissatisfied than ever. Does it... — read more
ISM is a colossal failure on so many levels
It’s a colossal failure on so many levels. I am at one of the 53 stores that rolled this out last year and we still can’t get it together. I can’t think of one positive thing other than the fact that it reduces costs. People are unhappy, Customer... — read more
ISM is achieving the impossible
People who've been here for years and put up with all kinds of sh-t and abuse but stayed for whatever reasons (usually out of their control) are saying this is the last straw and are leaving. Even if it means not having a job for a while. Imagine how... — read more
Macys leaving the malls
Macys is trying to open smaller location and exit the dying mall situation . why this wont work is macys is basically devaluing itself for the sake of fitting in to other low rent retailers..
"Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions"
I made a big mistake when, with the best of intentions, I wanted to talk to the manager about a serious issue we have in our store. I don't have a solution, but I thought he might have one. However, I only got an unpleasant reaction and now I am... — read more
Can we list the positives of ISM?
There had to have been some kind of logic behind the leadership's thinking when they decided to implement this mess. Can we find it? For me, the entire thing is a complete mess but maybe I'm missing something important. Can anybody give us examples... — read more
Chesterfield Macy’s closing!
I just heard the news. I’ve been anticipating this for a while now. They are opening a “Market by Macys” this fall in Chesterfield Commons and shuttering the older 3 story Famous Barr store. Well, I can safely say that this is gonna be the ultimate... — read more
Poor training
As far as I know, training employees is a key part of retail business. I am completely dissatisfied with the training here. I couldn't even imagine that I would have such a difficulty starting job somewhere. Why is the training at Macy's so poor?... — read more

Toys R US?
There are news outlets everywhere right now about Toys “R” Us returning with small shops in Macy’s stores. Am I missing something here but I thought this was already announced and the small “store within a store” already was put out? So the current... — read more
I can only imagine what the results of that survey would be
Macy’s needs to do a survey and just ask questions about their store leaders. Fifty percent of the store leaders should be replaced with competent management. Macy’s would be in for a rude awakening at how bad their store leaders really are. My... — read more
AP Question
So can someone explain why Ap can accuse you of everything under the sun /follow you around /write reports on you and try to put out money to catch you for something you aren't doing but if you do it to them you could be fired? I had a ops/ap clown... — read more
Unethical pay raises for some
Macys is such a shady and unethical company that treats its longtime employees like trash. They are hiring new people at a much higher rate hourly than the ones that have been with the company for years. New hires getting offered more and they are... — read more
ISM needs to end NOW!
We're a month in and the situation in our store is abysmal. Employees are beyond frustrated and angry. Despite all of us being turned into "bots" that can be plugged in where needed, our customers are still complaining that the store is a mess... — read more
Stock issue?
Out stock is very low. Why Macy's doesn't have stock? What's going on?
What do you hate the most about working at Macy's?
For me, it's the lousy pay for the amount of work we do.

Gaslighting
So why does Macys Gas light their employees? fake customer complaints. leaving out money near register to see if you take it. security following you around store and watching where you go in the mall on your break. leaving items in stock room to see... — read more
Staff presence is actually worse
With ISM it seems associates are just "recovering" and bullshitting and avoiding registers like the plague. It seems there's more registers with gobacks piled up than actual manned ones with customers getting helped by associates. Every single... — read more
(Not) answering the survey honestly
I think that only a minimal percentage of people answer the survey honestly. Do you give honest answers? I don't see any point in being honest, because I don't think I can bring any change for the better, so I always answer what I think the... — read more
Chesterfield Missouri getting a Market by Macys?

Visual in the age of ISM
What is going on in your stores with Visual? From my understanding, there is only supposed to be one dedicated Visual person (the Captain) and they are to get visual support from FOH. I wonder how this is working out. Holiday should be fun, cause... — read more
CULTURE PULSE SURVEY COMING UP
With the CPS coming up, I'm interested on how the questions will be directed/worded to. I know last time, we were only allowed to answer how we felt about just our store in general, not the company as a whole. And not much in regards to comment... — read more
This is the last nail in the coffin
Things were bad before the whole ISM thing. Most of the good employees had already left and we were so short-handed that it could be considered a crime. The people they tried to replace them with are horrible. They have zero experience and as much... — read more
WAY TOO TOP HEAVY
It’s the pressure on stores from the top. Most of the region and division teams don’t understand what it’s like in stores anymore. Stores are tired and oftentimes have poor leadership at the top. Unrealistic expectations are usually placed on the... — read more
We shouldn't be wasting money on 4th of July Fireworks
Go ahead, tell me I'm being unpatriotic or whatever, but this is nothing else than a complete waste of money. Do you really think this or even Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade actually translate into sales? That stopped being true years ago. There so... — read more
I can't stand that person anymore
