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 

Fragrance employee pay

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.

Did Macy's blacklist me?

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

This site is fake, fake, fake.

I laugh when I see the so called Macy's employees here complaining. Since I do actually do work for Macy's, I can verify most of the complaints are total BS! It's not at all the real Macy's. Then you have the people still mad that Macy's converted... — read more

Captain positions?

Anyone know if captain positions are going away? As of right now open Captain positions are not being filled. This screws me because I’m pretty much the only selling captain because the others are either inept or on leave.

Do you ever wonder?

I’ve often wondered if anyone from Corp has ever tapped onto this site and either thought we need to look into this, correct things and make things right or if they just glanced at it and thought “Let them eat cake!”
