Pros

As a merchander I am able to come in early in the morning while my children are at school and be home when they get home from school. I don't have to work on weekends. The store discount comes in great. Promoting within the company is always a good reason to work for a company. They also work around my schedule.

Cons

Not enought hours to get your work load done. Right now they are downsizing the company . A number of people that you no longer has jobs. It's tough seeing people you learn to know now do have a job.

Pros

Macy's Home store believed in providing an opportunity for one to rise up the ranks with all the proper training and mentorship needed through each person's individual career development plan. Many different programs and classes supplemented my on-the-job training and was accessible to me via in class training and also behind my desk personal training, both available for my use anytime. Not only did they have a very strong infrastructure, they had a very strong team which emphasized working together while stil in a competitive environment and many providing opportunities for 2-way communication between upper management and subordinates. Along with that comment, the people cared about you. A great emphasis was placed on respect, which translated in to upper management being more than just bosses, but mentors.

Cons

Macy's Home Store unfortunately does not have training or easy bridges for those who want to get into Ready to Wear or other division such as Product Development. Therefore, if you don't like home products--then it would be difficult to fully embrace the career development program. However, mentors and bosses do want to help you get what you want and get to your goals. The other downside of Macy's Home Store is that you can grow very comfy here and you might not feel challenged at times because you only make it as challenging as you want to. Meaning, most bosses do not yell and scream at you for work to get done and sometimes, a lack of urgency could be felt if there is no personal drive or passion for the job you are doing.
