Whether you join the Macy's West team in Phoenix or Tucson or Macy's Credit and Customer Services in Tempe, there is only one word to describe your future - HOT. There's no arguing with 300 days of sunshine and year-round temperatures averaging 72 degrees. But beyond the balmy weather, Arizona's two largest cities - Phoenix and Tucson - are among the hottest relocation centers in the country. With their unusual blend of metropolitan sophistication and desert tranquility, Phoenix and Tucson serve up a potent potion of Southwestern hospitality and striking scenery. One taste and you'll be hooked. It's the stuff postcards are made of. Blazing sunsets. Crimson clouds. Exotic vegetation. Majestic mountains. It's a natural brilliance that two-dimensional pictures just don't do justice. Phoenix and Tucson are the medley of Mexican-American, Native-American and Western-American cultures. Their colorful histories and cultural influences fuse to form a Southwestern jewel - a burgeoning modern metropolis with a hint of Old West and a dose of new life. It's cowboy meets Cosmo. Perched on the upper edge of the great Sonoran Desert (though it might surprise you to know that Arizona is actually a top timber-producing state), Phoenix holds title as Arizona's dynamic capital city. Within its desert fringes live 1.4 million people (sharing space with innumerable cacti and exotic plant species) - ranking it as the fifth-largest city in the nation. Add in 22 of its surrounding communities and you get Greater Phoenix - or as locals call it - the Valley of the Sun. So why Phoenix? Ask anyone on the street and you will likely get the same answer. Fabulous weather. Diverse culture. Robust economy. Stable growth. Affordable lifestyle. Spectacular landscape. Why not? As one of the emerging high-tech havens, Phoenix has certainly emerged as a modern metropolitan machine. The city's gleaming skyline reflects years of progress. Its surging business centers, luxurious resort properties, five star dining, nationally recognized arts scene, sophisticated shopping centers, professional sports organizations and 180 golf courses speak to a city that affords all the luxuries the 21st century has come to expect. Likewise, the city's Mexican and Native American influence are still clearly visible in its architecture, culture and Southwestern lifestyle. If you listen closely, you can hear its heritage echo in the desert sands.
