I was supposed to have a phone interview today with one of your HR recruiters. I've been by my phone for more than an hour. Nobody ever called me. Who do I complain to?

There's a reason why it seems like Macy's is always hiring... once you get in, you're dying to get out. I've worked there once and have had two interviews since then, so let's just talk about the interview first.

Whatever you apply for, won't be the position they interview you for. I applied for a sales associate, they try to make me become a beauty adviser. I apply for day full time position, they try to convince me to work a nights part time position. It seems a little fishy to me that every time you go in for an interview for whatever you applied for that they try to convince you into doing something else. I truly believe that they post those job openings just to get people to come in so they can try to persuade them into crappy jobs. If you say no, you'll then soon get an email saying you weren't a right fit for the job you applied for, even though you are, they just wanted you to work something else.

When you do work there they'll throw you out on the floor all alone to cover a few areas, even if you didn't have full training yet. They won't tell you what to do, they'll just leave you to fend for yourself. I remember my first day I was left to cover three areas alone. I was terrified, I didn't know what to do! I thought I was doing well until finally a supervisor came over to me and gave me crap for not cleaning out all the fitting rooms every 45 minutes. I didn't even know!

Just how at another Macy's store I went into one day, they had a huge sale in shoes and the girl working in the shoes all by herself was having a hard time. She kept apologizing to everyone saying it's her first day and she hasn't had all of her training yet. Her supervisor came over to her and yelled that she wasn't working fast enough.

Their biggest concern is how many credit accounts you can get open. If you don't get so many a week they'll give you complete crap for it. You can't force people to open accounts, especially at this time when our economy isn't doing so well!

When I was working there I either had to get a ride home or take a few buses. I worked at the Macy's farthest from me, and just about everyday they would ask me to work late if I wasn't already working a full shift. When I told them no for obvious reasons, they would get really upset with me.

The co-workers are one extreme to another at each store. You will work with some very nice people, and then you will work with the people who hog the register so they will reach their sales goal, while you won't be able to get to half of yours.

To be honest, Macy's Inc. doesn't really give a damn about their employees. You're just another number to them (really, you get a number.) You get in there and the only thing they care about is how many credit accounts you open and how high your sales goal is. I understand it's a business, and you have to really work, but there's no reason to treat employees poorly.

It all looks good from the outside when you're just starting. They'll tell you about this great program they have if you ever have a problem, and how you can earn "Macy Money, " but really it's not worth it. Unless you want a retail job that you're miserable at, and have to work like a dog for peanuts, then find anywhere else to go.

a bunch of things happened 1st was that the sales pesron did not like the idea that i had a small budget for my gift and said i should spend more
the 2nd was the selection of clothes was not up to standards
the 3rd was the credit card and the new way of doing it that it has no limit but you have paid part of somthing off even if you have not seen the bill aka in the same day at 2 different registatars
i am no longer going to macys

I was given a gift card for a birthday present. Called the number on the back of it and placed an order for a women's top. Spoke with an individual by the name of Amy, took my order, told me what my balance would be on the gift card and I would have more order within 7-10 days. My order did not come, called the number today, was told I needed to call the store closest to my zip code. Called the store, they had want I wanted took my information so they could ship it to me and then I was informed they could not do a gift card over the phone, they would need to scan. If I was close to the store I would have gone in and used it. I am not. I am upset because I do not get to Colonie Center NY, maybe once a year, and was told by two or three different Macy employees "no problem". WRONG. Macy's need to make sure employess know what they are talking about. Finally spoke with someone that knew card could not be used over the phone. Riduculous.

I went to use my macy's card and noticed it was gone. I then went down to the macy's store to find out my balance and get a new card.At that time i was informed that my spend limit was razed. I didnt receive not one notice or statement from macy's stating my activity, spend limit increase or any kind of alert to the suspicous use.
