Macy’s 2018 holiday hiring plan calls for 80,000 temporary workers
Some of the seasonal jobs have already been posted at MacysJobs.com and BloomingdalesJobs.com. There are positions at Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s stores, call centers, distribution centers and online fulfillment centers nationwide.
“Macy’s, Inc. is focused on providing customers with a great shopping experience, and we wouldn’t be able to do that without our colleagues – who are the key to our success,” said John Harper, Macy’s chief stores officer. “Seasonal colleagues play an especially important role in the Macy’s holiday shopping experience, whether in a store, a fulfillment or distribution center or in a call center.”
In a news release, Macy’s says it offers seasonal workers flexible schedules, competitive hourly pay, a merchandise discount and a quarterly bonus if goals are achieved.
Macy’s employs workers from students to retirees — and some of these positions require no previous experience.
If you’re able to attend the October 18 hiring event at your local store, call center or distribution and fulfillment center, there will be interviews on the spot. Get more details at MacysJobs.com.
