The best departments in Century 21 are; handbags, shoes, and the mens department. While they say they have designer fragrances, I find you can get the same fragrances at Duane Reade or JC Pennys. The cosmetic department is average, nothing special at all. Its not a Saks or Bloomingdales. The NYC store is very disorganized and the aisles are narrow and cramped. The sales people are rude, inexperienced, and uncaring. They act like they really don't want to work there. I find the women's clothing is primarily for the under 30 crowd. On the plus side, they have one of the best selection of handbags I've ever seen. They have high end bags such as Tods and inexpensive bags as well. The mens department is awesome. It is the best place to purchase socks!! The shoe department is also excellent. They have all styles and price ranges. I find the Morristown, NJ store much more organized and less crowded. If you can get there, I recommend shopping there instead of the NYC store.
Pros: Deep discounts, no pushy salespeople
Cons: No parking, rude salespeople, long lines
