It still surprises me whenever someone says that there used to be a different culture here because it's hard for me to imagine it. According to some, it actually used to be nice to work here?

I hope they cut ties, those NCR guys are nasty and refuse to help if you can't recite the asset tag backwards
A little off topic but does anyone know how much longer that NCR will provide tech support for the stores? I am hearing there is 1 year left and then it depends on if Macys will renew. Our NCR Tech is really good and said that NCR has been terrible to work for, looking to move on. Not sure if any rumblings out there but curious to hear. I know that a lot of stores have had a bad experience so I guess we’ve been lucky at my location. The guy is doing his job despite being so unhappy
Of course not. The next day they will be in the dock.
AND not work go back rods!
Macy’s staff consists of kids. It doesn’t matter if the minimum wage is $30, they will still call out on nights, weekends, and holidays!
It was a very good place to work. After reopening from Covid and laying off 4000 people and combining roles , it changed. Best talent left or was let go. Now when Macys hires , most stores can only get mediocre or worse people. The stores have no professional standards. Anything, anyone goes. Many of those running stores or departments are clueless. New staff aren’t trained or held accountable, older veteran associates are left wondering. Senior execs are riding a paycheck. Not a great formula for success.
Too bad.
Macys was amazing and not so long ago. i used to live going to work connecting with my team and customers. The culture shifted in late 2019 when JG took over, then covid happened and it has gone downhill from there. The top dogs who really cared about the customer and the business started to “Retire” or leave for greener pastures. it got worse and worse and it is where it is now.
From the early 2000s-Most of 2019 Macys was an amazing employer.
Macy’s generalists are basically cashiers/clerks. Way back it was prohibited to ‘cashier’. The associate had to actively seek out the customers and be the expert at their own department. Back then you had to dress professionally for work. You would be sent home if you were not in dress code. Now, you can just wear a Tshirt, jeans, and a pair of Vans and start clerking away (standing behind the register)
