Pros

People are great Pay is great the company culture is fantastic Build great relationship with outstanding clients, unlike some other clothing retail chains only sell/carry top of the line fashionable items.

Cons

the only problem is that you have to work when every one else is not, such as on holidays etc. but with that said they compensate you accordingly and I have never had a problem coming in to work on those days. Nordstrom is the Best!

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.
