Q1. In regard to recruiting, discuss organizational attractiveness relative to reputation

internationally. I would like to work here because Macy's treats its employees well and
provides a good working environment. It has also been able to maintain financial stability for
a long time. Customers prefer it because it is able to meet their specific needs by customizing
