Pros

There isn’t any pros if your manager I only sees you as a number. Or the company doesn’t care to grow you.

Cons

Company sees you as a number If you have a college degree you can’t get into corporate they make you stay in management for 8 years plus. Then promote you to corporate then remove your promotion because they changed hiring the rules randomly . Nordstrom will get rid of all their people of color in leadership. No work life balance.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
