 | In large department stores - like Bloomingdales, Macy's, Barneys - what kind of jobs do they have available? Do such positions like floor managers exist and also, if two people were working in separate parts of the store (say, beauty and men's clothes), would there be 'higher' positions that they both could compete for and be promoted to?
Not sure if that made any sense, but I'd greatly appreciate some help!

| I have an interview for a retail department manager job at a Shopko store on Wednesday. It's for the Apparel/Jewelry/Shoes section of the store. Has anyone had an interview for a Department Manager position in a not-quite-big-box retailer? What kind of questions should I be prepared to answer?
I'm coming from 5 1/2 years at my local Wal-Mart where I was a Customer Service Manager.

| I am interested in getting a job at a Department store cosmetics counter (Macy's, Nordstrom etc...), I have been told to walk in and speak only to the Department manager by some of the department store employees. I just don't know what to do or say. I have an outstanding resume and cover letter as well as letters of recommendation but I don't know how I should approach the manager? should I give my letters of recommendation at the time I meet them or when they call me for an interview? Any advice from anyone that's gone this route please.
Thanks,

 | I became department manager of Ladies Accessories about two months ago and i don't know if it's the right job for me. Plus I would really like to switch to overnights to make a buttload more money.
But anyway, you don't need my whole life story. =]
I've heard it's a whole year that I'd have to wait or is it the normal six months?

| I worked at a department store awhile back and I left on somewhat bad terms. Basically the manager wasn't doing their job and I didn't agree with how I (or others) were being treated so I left abruptly. I'm now interested in a position at the same company (but a different location). If I re-apply and say I never worked there will they know?

| Assuming I am applying to Mcdonald's or Wal-Mart, does the application go to the corporate office and get filed away, or does the store manager actually see it? I have applied to countless restaurants, department stores, and miscellaneous (supposedly) open jobs, but I have never received a response. Is it a waste of time to try to apply to these places online (which is usually the only option) and, if so - how does anyone ever get hired?

 | I am somewhat disabled. I asked to speak to a store manager because there was a slight...I wouldnt even call it a problem...basically a store policy had changed. Because I am somewhat disabled, I was sitting in a chair at a department store and when the woman came up to me she did not start off rude, but because I was defending (and kindly debating my reasoning behind what I was there for) she got pretty LOUD and it was embarrassing...I wont even go into the details of what she was saying it was just unflattering, rude, and I thought disrespectful. Once she started getting a little loud (and hey...she may not have even noticed it)...I thought I better stand up from the chair I was in to make eye contact with the woman (we were now the same height which doesnt even matter)....and then she continued to be loud, so I spoke loud asking why she was raising her voice, and then said she would try to keep it down, but then did not.
Tomorrow morning I am going to talk to the main head guy of the entire store...who I know will side with me (if not - oh well - its fine - but things can be done with grace, respect, and fair customer satisfaction) anyways....even if I dont get what I want. Thanks beside the point now.
What is a good way for me to explain (it may be on paper or verbally....even If I talk to him over the phone I want to put in a formal compaint on this lady) -- I just think she needs a re-evaluation on customer service and respect.
I want it to be concise, to the point....all while mentioning these details and wahtever else may suit the bills. Help with the writing? Thanks.
Best answer will be chosen ASAP. Everyone will also get a thumbs up point for commenting.

| I recently applied online for a department store hourly position. This is my first job so I am unsure of what to do. Should I call and ask for the status of my application or should I go to the store and ask to speak to the manager?
Could someone please help me out.

 | I'm 18 and just got my first job a week ago. I work at a department store and the wage is 8.00 an hour because I live in Massachusetts. I go off to college in August so at the most I'll be spending five months at that job. The manager said I probably won't get over 20 hours a week because I'm a temporary worker. Two of my friends have part time jobs too and they said the IRS chased them down to pay taxes. Will I most likely have to file taxes? What amount of money do you have to make to be required to file taxes? I filed out a W-4 and I either think I had 1 or zero exemptions.
Also, can someone explain what a W-4 is? I filed it out when I went to my orientation but I don't know what it does. What is the process of filing taxes? I literally have no idea about taxes, except from when my parents do theirs. Sorry for my ignorance

| I work in a department store. I have been with the company for 4 years. I have been happy 3 out of those 4 years. A year ago, a bully manager was put at the helm of our team. She is a classic workplace bully. She is unapproachable, reprimands staff in front of coworkers and customers, she uses personal information acquired through employee files, and via other staff members against her staff. She is a pathological liar who literally invents stories to cover her frequent, and large mistakes. She has also surrounded herself with other coworkers who thrive in this kind of environment because of her presence. One in particular has continually sexually, physically and mentally harassed his coworkers unchecked for years, and uses his status as top performer to cover his indiscretions. He uses fear and intimidation to achieve success for him, and frequently states that he can do what he wants because he is a top seller. (Continued in a moment)
Out of a team of 20. 5 out 20 employees are indifferent to the abuses of other team members and support, or turn a blind eye to this managers treatment of others. 8 are continual targets of her (and his) bullying. The rest seem unaffected. There are also 5 managers out of a team of 12 who have also been vocal about their concerns, though nobody is certain what they would be willing to do to address the problem.
Several employees have contacted personal lawyers and had letters drawn in their name to discontinue continual harassment by the offenders. I cannot afford this, and do not have a lawyer to help me out. What are my options? Should I write a letter to the president of the company, of hr, our general manager and hr manager? I would be scared to sign my name to it if I did. Can anyone help me with my next move. I am not in position to quit at the moment, and I don’t want this to continue to happen to my other coworkers and anyone else that gains employment there. Please, if you can offer me any suggestions, I would be grateful. I have had to start treatment with a therapist, as well as anti anxiety medication to cope with the stress this job is causing.
OMG Your guy's responses mean so much to me, you have no idea. I am almost in tears. This is what seems to make Yahoo Answers such a great place. Even having my feelings validated by someone outside of this horrible situation has given me some relief. As to you greatly appreciated inquiry into how i ended up in retail...let's just say i made some bad choices, and had some pretty intense struggles with personal demons. Life is better than it was, but it isn't anywhere near where I want it to be. I am filled with fear to make a move and do anything else.

 | I just started a part-time job at a local department store about 3 weeks ago. My husband just got offered a better job opportunity that would mean relocating and so I would have to quit my job. I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I feel awful leaving after a few weeks, when I intended on staying there quite a while. What is the protocal? Should I still give 2 weeks notice while I'm in the probationary period?

I am only 16 and my dad says I shouldn't quit the grocery store but I have had all the managers hit on me and harass me. And id much rather work with clothes.
