No degree or experience needed for the entry roles. Macy’s trains on the job. The department you land in changes your pay more than your résumé, especially if you move into a commission area.
Retail Sales Associate
📍 Macy’s stores nationwide · 📄 Full-time / Part-time W-2 · ⏱️ Mall hours, nights and weekends · 💵 $14-$18/hr
Help customers, run the register, and keep your area stocked. The most common entry role, and it comes with the employee discount.
Commission Sales Associate
📍 Fine jewelry, mattresses, big-ticket departments · 📄 Full-time W-2 · ⏱️ Store hours · 💵 $16-$25+/hr with commission
Sell higher-priced departments on a base-plus-commission plan. Strong sellers earn well above the standard sales floor.
Stock / Receiving Associate
📍 Store back rooms · 📄 Full-time / Part-time W-2 · ⏱️ Early morning common · 💵 $15-$19/hr
Unload trucks, process inventory, and keep the floor full. Less customer contact, ideal if you prefer the back room.
Fulfillment Center Associate
📍 Macy’s distribution centers · 📄 Full-time W-2 · ⏱️ Day and night shifts · 💵 $16-$20/hr
Pick, pack, and ship online orders. Pays more than the floor, plus overtime in the busy season.
Beauty Advisor
📍 Cosmetics and fragrance counters · 📄 Full-time / Part-time W-2 · ⏱️ Store hours · 💵 $15-$22/hr with incentives
Sell cosmetics and fragrance at the beauty counter, sometimes brand-sponsored. Product training provided, with sales incentives on top.
Seasonal Associate (Holiday)
📍 Stores nationwide · 📄 Temporary W-2 · ⏱️ Heavy Nov-Jan hours · 💵 $14-$18/hr
Hired for the holiday rush across the floor and stockroom. Solid seasonal hires are often kept on once January comes.
Where the Macy’s numbers land
According to Glassdoor, Macy’s sales associates average around $16 an hour, while commission departments like fine jewelry and mattresses push strong sellers well past $25 an hour. Eligible staff get health coverage, a 401(k) match, and an employee discount, with the biggest hiring wave hitting before the holidays.
💡 The earner’s tip: The standard sales floor pays in the mid-teens, but commission departments (jewelry, mattresses, big-ticket) and beauty counters with incentives are where the real money is. If you can sell, ask specifically for a commission area. For the fastest hire, target a seasonal role in the fall.
