Interview
I applied online and received an invitation to schedule an interview online. It took almost two weeks for an interview to become available. I scheduled an interview for another 2 weeks later. When I went in for the interview, I waited with one other candidate. The manager knew we were coming, even remembering our names - still she seemed very frazzled, but still very friendly. We were interviewed together, and it was all very casual. She asked us to introduce ourselves, explained the available jobs (which didn't really exist), and told us she would get back to us about available jobs by the end of the day. She said we seemed like very good candidates since we both had prior retail experience. I didn't receive the call, although it's only been a day. Still, I'm not holding my breath!
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Durham, NC) in Jun 2010
Interview
Applied for a position as an hourly sales associate. When I was brought in for an interview they said they were interested in having me as a commission only sales associate in furniture. I was not interested in this and they did not consider me for other positions (to my knowledge). The manager was gung-ho, but tried to answer my questions for me instead of letting me answer them myself. I had originally applied online, was offered an interview after 2 days, interviewed in person, and they declined to hire me by email after another 4 days.

Interview
Got an email to schedule an interview. Went to macys, they were a little late, I had to wait a long time. Couple other people were waiting, too. Got called by a lady and we went into a room with no table, just computers. I thought it was a little weird. Kept referring to my other experience at another macys. Asked me what departments I would prefer, she left to go ask human resources what positions were open, she comes back in and says the departments I wanted have no openings, and I asked her about the other departments, and she told me that they arent hiring any sales associates. So why are you interviewing. Lady was very rude.
