No. We do not get commission at Macy's.

Mac does not pay their employees commission at any location.

Nordstrom employees make commission but Nordstrom is the one paying them for it.

HTH.

It's a little confusing...

MAC just leases the space from Macy's. So, we are not Macy's employees and we are paid directly from MAC.

At Nordstrom the MAC people are Nordstrom employees. They have to be hired through Nordstrom and are paid by Nordstrom. That is why they get commission.

But again, for whatever reason, MAC does not personally pay their employees commission.

I like working at a non-commission counter. It makes everybody more relaxed. I used to be a Macy's employee (Benefit) and I hated it. I love being separate now. No more opening credit!

Thanks for clearing that up for us! I have a MA at my local counter who is amazing and I was wondering if I should call up before a collection to see when she is working. So IF she did make commission that she would get it from my purchase. But I guess not. She's there a lot whenever I'm there so I'll probably see her next time a new collection rolls in.

I think purchasing from her is still a good idea. Even though we don't make commission, our jobs depend on our sales. And I am sure she appreciates your loyalty.

In these times every sale is important.
