How does the Macys employee discount work?

I just got a job at Macys…they haven’t explained the employee discount to me yet, so I need to know. They pay practically nothing (this is by far the lowest I’ve been paid in my life), and if the discount isn’t good I might not go to training. Do I need to use my Macys credit card? What departments don’t get discounts? Can I use the discount at sister stores?
I’ve previously read that you need to have the credit card to get the discount. I know it’s 20% but it doesn’t include all departments. If Coach and Movado aren’t included, I’m out of there.
