Seasonal Jobs at Macy's and Bloomingdale's in Miami: Opportunities, Pay, and Application Guide

As the holiday season approaches in 2026, Macy's and Bloomingdale's are actively seeking temporary employees to bolster their Miami area stores. This hiring drive encompasses roles in customer service, sales, restocking, and operational support, with job openings highlighted in the Dadeland and Aventura locations.

According to Macy’s, Inc.’s official announcement on September 24, Miami has been specifically identified as a key area for potential hires across both Macy's and Bloomingdale's. The company has scheduled in-person recruitment events on October 22 and November 19.

While the recruitment campaign kicked off in September, job seekers can still apply online without waiting for the scheduled hiring events. Available positions, pay rates, and work schedules may vary by store and could adjust as roles are filled.

Opportunities at Macy’s in Dadeland: Roles and Compensation

The job listings for Macy’s in the Miami area, specifically in Dadeland (ZIP code 33156), include various temporary roles. These include Seasonal Retail Sales Associate positions, focusing on sales and customer advice, offering a pay range from $16 to $20.49 per hour on a part-time basis.

Additional roles such as Seasonal Retail At Your Service Associate focus on customer service and in-store support, with similar pay rates.

The announced salaries are indicative ranges for specific roles and should not be interpreted as a fixed rate across the chain or a commitment to the highest pay. Applicants should confirm current offers and precise salaries on Macy’s Jobs official site before applying.

Bloomingdale’s Hiring in Aventura: Starting from $15.75 per Hour

The hiring spree isn't limited to Macy’s. Bloomingdale’s job listings in the Aventura area (ZIP code 33180) include temporary part-time positions in home goods, women's and men's apparel, footwear, handbags, and customer service.

For instance, the Seasonal Sales Associate - Home, Part Time - Aventura position offers a pay range from $15.75 to $21.57 per hour. This role involves advising shoppers, making sales, organizing items, and working during afternoons, weekends, and holidays. The job listing outlines requirements and allows access to the application process.

Bloomingdale’s job list in Miami also presents temporary opportunities in youth and fashion sectors, along with a temporary administrative support role with a stated pay range of $15.75 to $23.18 per hour. Some roles require previous experience in document organization, computer systems, and activity coordination.

Before heading to Aventura, it's advisable to verify the job location as listed in the announcement; a listing under "Miami" might not necessarily be within the city limits. For current availability, Bloomingdale’s Jobs is the primary resource.

Upcoming Recruitment Events: October 22 and November 19

Macy’s, Inc. has arranged three nationwide hiring events for this season. The first occurred on September 24, with two more planned for October 22 and November 19, 2026.

These events will be held at Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Bluemercury stores, as well as select distribution centers. Timings may vary by location, so interested parties should check with their chosen store or follow the instructions in the job announcement before attending.

The company noted that the September event included immediate interviews and job offers. However, this should not be seen as a guarantee for the October or November events; participation does not ensure job placement.

Applicants wishing to apply from home can do so immediately without waiting for the event days.

Step-by-Step Application Process

To bypass intermediaries and confirm that job listings are still active, it is recommended to use the official links provided by the group:

1. Visit the relevant employment site: macysJOBS.com for Macy’s, bloomingdalesJOBS.com for Bloomingdale’s, or bluemercuryJOBS.com for the beauty chain.
2. Filter by city and contract type: look for Miami, Aventura, Dadeland, or nearby locations and verify if the position is seasonal, part-time, or full-time. The company mainly advertises part-time store positions and part-time or full-time roles in certain logistics centers.
3. Review the details of each position: read the hourly pay, shift availability, required experience, duties, physical demands, and location before completing your application.
4. Complete the application: follow the portal’s instructions to submit personal and professional information. Macy’s also offers some candidates the option to record a video interview, as explained in the company’s announcement.
5. Confirm the status of the opening: temporary vacancies can fill up fast. Always verify an external listing with the brand’s official page.

Common Requirements and Employee Benefits

Not all positions share the same criteria. Sales and customer service roles typically value communication skills, the ability to engage with the public, proficiency in operating payment systems, and availability during weekends or holidays. Inventory positions may require standing for long periods, moving merchandise, and other physical tasks.

According to Macy’s, Inc., employee benefits include discounts, a 401(k) savings plan, early access to earned wages before the usual payday, and financial education and psychological support programs. Medical, dental, and vision benefits depend on employee eligibility.

Not every temporary employee will necessarily receive the same benefits. Conditions depend on the role, work schedule, and company policies. There is also a possibility of future employment within the group, though a permanent contract post-holidays is not guaranteed.

Can Cuban Residents in Florida Apply for These Jobs?

Cuban residents in Miami-Dade or Broward can apply if they meet the job requirements and have legal authorization to work in the United States. Nationality does not replace the required work documentation, nor does a pending immigration application guarantee that permission.

These jobs might appeal to those seeking extra income during the holidays or individuals looking to gain work experience in the United States. Before accepting an offer, it's wise to verify the type of contract, working hours, commute to the store, and the stated salary.

This new recruitment drive differs from the cleaning, driving, and customer service opportunities recently compiled by CiberCuba through CareerSource South Florida, and from public employment vacancies in the county, which follow different application processes.

The events on October 22 and November 19 present another chance for those who prefer to apply in person, but the most direct way to find out which positions remain open, their pay, and how to apply is still through each chain's official employment website.
