Working at Macy's, Inc.

Cons: Customers

Cons: Some coworker / management seems to be very political

Cons: There is very little incentive to perform better. Salary is never discussed as an incentive. The few perks are rather meager and work primarily for the company's benefits. I don't look for small prices or contests to help me feel good about my job. I'm sure it's not that they don't know that the most significant motivator is an appropriate raise in pay. They just choose to ignore the greatest needs of their employees. Some work very close by and for them the job is something that brings in spending money. For others a good part of their salary goes to gas and car maintenance. Still others like myself need the money, live too far to make it in with ease. I would be a lot happier if they would stop trying to tell me that every new policy and event will help Macys make more money. Do they really believe that the employees care that Macy's is making huge profits while they are barely making it on their salaries and giving it (the job) their best.

Cons: The inconsistency of corporate policy and the inconsistent enforcement of same.

Cons: The lack of accountability amongst executives.

Cons: The coupons and price haggling with certain customers.

Cons: Stressful, Not great for home/life balance. Corporate structure has to many hours as salary and not enough recognition for job well done in times of stress.
