Visual
Are there any visual people on here that work in pilot stores that can tell us what role visual has now.
I don't like the pilot program.
That is, I'm afraid of what it will all look like. From everything I've heard from people whose store is already in the pilot program, it seems to me that there are more cons than pros. But who cares what employees think? Macy’s doesn’t care about... — read more

Can somebody please let me know what the starting pay is for a fragrance sales associate. A friend swears it’s $20 an hour and I’m sure there’s no way a retail position would start at that.

Why do people here think that everyone's job is easier than theirs?
Here everyone seems to think that someone else's job is very easy, and that theirs is difficult. Cashier thinks it's easier to be a sales manager, and a store manager thinks it's easier to be anything but a store manager. My opinion is that only... — read more

How to complain about bad managers?
How do you complain about bad managers??? Unfair ones, rude ones, ones that discriminate, etc.?????
I guess everything stayed the same
I left over a year ago after finishing college. Came back to see if anything has changed and from what I’ve read - the answer would be no. What I cannot understand is if you see the company as a sinking ship and can see the “writing on the wall,” are... — read more
If you want out

I think they will have a big problem during the holidays
