Okay, so I’ve been working at Macy’s for a while now, and one of the things I was really looking forward to was the employee discount. I mean, who doesn’t love a good deal, right?
So, the first thing I did was to sign up for a Macy’s credit card. I figured that’s how they track your employee status and all that jazz. It was a pretty straightforward process, just filled out the usual application, waited a bit, and boom, got the card.
Once I got the card, I started to use my Macy’s card whenever I shopped, expecting that sweet 20% discount to magically appear. And guess what? It did! Every time I swiped my Macy’s card, whether it was at a Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, or even a Bloomingdale’s Outlet, I saw that discount on my receipt.
But it’s not just about the shopping discount. Macy’s also offers a bunch of other benefits. For example, I immediately looked into the health insurance options. They’ve got medical, dental, and vision plans. Also, I signed up for their 401k plan. They match a certain percentage of your contributions, which is basically free money, so why not?
- Got my Macy’s credit card.
- Started using it for all my Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s purchases.
- Enjoyed that 20% discount every time.
- Checked out the health insurance plans.
- Signed up for the 401k.
There’s also something called pre-tax commuter benefits, which I haven’t really looked into yet since I drive to work. And they have these 529 education savings plans, which might be useful down the line if I decide to go back to school or if I have kids.
Oh, and get this – they have this thing where you can access your wages before payday! I haven’t needed to use it yet, but it’s good to know it’s there in case of emergencies.

Overall, working at Macy’s has been pretty good. The employee discount is definitely a nice perk, and the other benefits are solid too. You know, it’s not just a job; they actually offer some decent stuff to take care of their employees.
