Just call it Ghetto Macy's
The name fits. Run down, outdated stores. Messy, unkept displays. Indifferent to no service. Department Store prices yet low Fast Fashion quality.
Accept a job or give yourself a break?
The job at Macy's completely exhausted me. When I got laid off, I felt relieved. The problem was not in the company itself, but I simply realized that the job in retail is not for me and that this dynamic does not suit me at all. However, not having... — read more

Macys does not value its knowledgeable people
To all of Macys defenders you may still enjoy your job and make a decent living but keep in mind you are now working for a cheap and crummy Syndicate. Corporate takes the ideas from the most talented ,uses them and quickly toss them out . Many of the... — read more

Macy’s upper management
Don’t do anything, waste of money. Except for the store manager and the operations manager, what are these new titles for previous ASMs? Directors, they are useless and just walk around all day and chit chat and go out get Starbucks or get lunch. — read more
