Great place to work

Pros

Great life and work balance

Cons

From a technology point of view or if you're a technologist and you want to do and learn a lot, then this is not the place. I think they can also do with a new upper management that can deal with the new generation. Times have changed but not at Macys. Lastly, if you hate politics, then run from here. No career growth whatsoever. Where you come in is probably where you're gonna be for a long time.

Pros

Prestige and convenience of commute

Cons

After a restructuring in 2009-2010 there was a distinct culture clash between the Systems group based in GA & any IT folks in NYC. The approach to projects and dealing with business users was different and it didn't seem like GA cared to adapt or adopt any of the methods in place in NYC.

Pros

There are a fair number of vacation days, and half days on Friday during the summer.

Cons

There is no career path for those in the tech field, only for management. Also any sort of training for tech jobs are sorely lacking. People who want to move up have no path to do so, as skill development is insubstantial In most cases it has only been trial by fire where a person is put in a new position, with little tangible support from management. Consultants are far too heavily relied upon, and stay for years instead of months or weeks.
