This vibrant retailer prides itself on being more than just a store—it is a story that captures the hearts and minds of millions, delivering not only products but also unforgettable moments to customers and colleagues alike. Macy's commitment to excellence extends beyond sales, creating a dynamic and inclusive work environment for its employees, offering competitive pay, benefits, and numerous opportunities for growth. The Seasonal Retail Selling Colleague role at Macy's focuses on providing exceptional holiday shopping experiences by combining effective selling with genuine hospitality. This position is pivotal in ensuring customers receive personalized recommendations and outstanding service from the moment they step into the store through to the checkout process and beyond. Seasonal colleagues engage customers by deeply understanding their needs and product knowledge, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating warm, welcoming interactions that encourage customer loyalty. This role is much more than transactional; it is about turning everyday visits into memorable moments that reflect the personalized and hospitable essence of Macy's. Seasonal Retail Selling Colleagues start their days energized and prepared, wearing their name badges with pride, and contributing to a clean and organized shopping environment. They review sales goals, familiarize themselves with new merchandise and promotions, and stay informed of trends to confidently engage customers. The sales floor is their stage where they build genuine connections, endorse Macy's Loyalty program benefits, and ensure customers feel valued through thoughtful gestures like using their names and walking them to their packages. Beyond customer engagement, seasonal employees play a vital role in maintaining the store’s visual appeal by merchandising new arrivals, processing damaged or returned goods, managing pricing and signage, and participating in merchandise moves. Working as part of a collaborative team, colleagues support each other with honesty and care, recognizing that internal service excellence enhances the overall customer experience. Macy's believes in continuous improvement, encouraging employees to take pride in their work, meet sales targets, and learn collaboratively to drive both personal and store success. Seasonal colleagues typically work part-time, around 10-20 hours per week, with schedules that adapt to business needs and individual availability, including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays. The role requires physical stamina, including standing for extended periods, lifting up to 25 pounds, and performing tasks that involve reaching, kneeling, crouching, and climbing. Technological proficiency in using handheld devices and cash registers is also fundamental. Joining Macy's means entering a workplace that values inclusivity, teamwork, and personal growth. The company offers competitive pay, comprehensive health and wellness coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and holidays. In addition, employees benefit from access to earned wages anytime, merchandise discounts, performance-based incentives, and employee assistance programs offering mental health counseling and legal or financial advice.
