Macy's=High School?

I am a sales associate for Macy's and will start off by saying that I make a measly $7.55 an hour, and that's after my raise. We are asked to do things like open credits, ask customers their names, and other menial tasks that are not worth our time when factoring in how much we are paid. Besides doing chores we also have to deal with idiotic managers. They act like we are children. Their superiority really gets the best of them and I sometimes feel like a high school student that wants to rebel against the authority. I don't mind doing hard work, however it's difficult to do hard work when there are people breathing down your neck and pointing fingers when they're getting paid all the money. I truely feel like being at Macy's is like high school all over again. There are cliques, "managers" pets, and much more gossip than I can handle. I feel like my job is such a joke because I can be the best associate in history and won't advance to anything more than just an associate. There are people that have been there upwards of 15 years and they are still in the same position that I have been in for only one year! I don't feel like I am working for a multi-million dollar company. I feel like I'm working at a daycare with high school students running it. I worked at a tennis club that charges their members $30,000 to join and pay me more than twice that Macy's pays and was treated more like an adult employee and less of the child that Macy's treats me as. My biggest question is are all Macy's stores run this way or is it just the way retail works altogether?

I am also a Macy's employee. I would be one of those in the "same position for 15 years." In my defense, I LIKE what I do, am paid fairly well (by retail standards) for being a faithful employee. Macy's is not perfect. I live and work in Southern California and at best the air conditioning is mediocre in the summer. I detest being treated like a robot and told to use the word "outstanding" to every customer. I do not ask for CRL's to be done with an "outstanding" rating. If a customer feels I did an outstanding job, they can so rate me. However, all in all, as I said before, I have done this job for so many years because it fits my lifestyle. I enjoy being with people as opposed to being behind a desk. I like having days off during the week (and weekends, as well!) and frequently have exactly the schedule I like. There can be worse companies to work for, believe me.
