Sales opportunities Selling at Macy's or Bloomindale's is fun and interesting work - helping customers of all types select fashions that reflect their tastes and lifestyles. We look for people who enjoy human interaction, work hard and have a positive outlook on life. If being a career sales professional is your preference, ours are among the best and most satisfying selling jobs in retail. And we work in an environment where you can continue to improve and develop within the same job or store. There's a wide range of diversity and opportunity within our selling staffs. Our team includes full and part-time sales associates assigned to specific departments and/or responsibilities. They are the backbone of our ability to serve customers - welcoming shoppers to our stores, understanding their needs, helping to select the right merchandise, and completing a sale. Some sales associates also float between high-volume departments, gaining a wide range of experience in different merchandise lines. Some of our associates work in commission-based departments, such as cosmetics, shoes or furniture. Others are sales specialists focused on specific categories or brands, building ongoing relationships with repeat customers. If you're interested in part-time work, we also have terrific opportunities in traditional part-time positions, as well as temporary jobs that allow you to meet your specific needs. A part-time or temporary position might be a way for you to work your way through school, earn extra money (and employee discounts) during the holidays, return to the workforce after an absence, or even to meet new friends. Store sales support opportunities Beyond selling positions, department stores need a wide range of talent to work as part of a winning team. This includes store-based individuals in operations areas such as loss prevention, visual merchandising, human resources, shipping and receiving - all the ingredients that come together to bring a premier department store to life. In loss prevention you help provide a safe, profitable environment for our company. Visual merchandising contributes daily to the presentation of merchandise ensuring an exciting and dynamic store experience for our customers. Shipping and receiving keeps the merchandise moving through the store so customers always see the newest product in a clean and organized manner. Store management opportunities Sales and support teams in our stores are led by managers responsible for attaining specific performance objectives. They include sales managers who oversee and coordinate customer service in a department or group of departments. These are often individuals who have been promoted from sales associate positions, based on their high performance and leadership skills. Helping to create the best working and shopping environment is a tremendous challenge and offers unlimited stimulus to your day. In addition, there are managers who oversee activities and associates in support areas such as loss prevention, visual merchandising, human resources, and shipping and receiving. Retail division corporate office opportunities Each retail division has a headquarters office with highly professional staffs in areas such as merchandise planning and buying, advertising and sales promotion, public and community relations, human resources, operations and finance. These jobs, often requiring special training and/or experience, are crucial to bringing our customers distinctive merchandise, as well as superior shopping experiences. Setting the pace for which content will ultimately be presented in each store is a challenging and rewarding responsibility. Providing the support financially, operationally or strategically is critical to our success. If you are looking for a career that offers promotions and advancement, ours is a company filled with potential. You can pursue a myriad of different opportunities across the U.S. without ever leaving the company. We believe strongly in advancement from within and provide extensive training to prepare you for the next level. In fact, you should note that Macy's, Inc.'s Chairman and President/CEO (Terry Lundgren) and Vice Chairman (Sue Kronick) began their careers with entry-level jobs in the company and worked their way to the very top of the organization. This is the place you'd want to start and grow a career in retailing, and now is the time. We have the map. You're in the driver's seat.
