Pros

The best reason to work at Nordstrom is what you will learn and take with you anywhere you go. At Nordstrom you learn how to interact with customers at a level that is beyond retail service. You learn how to be a good leader and manage your own business within the company. You learn respect, confidence, and problem solving. It really is all together a great place to be where you are treated with respect and are given the opportunity to succeed.

Cons

Working the day after Thanksgiving and some of the Sale days makes it hard to travel around the holidays to be with family. ...And if you are a manager around those times...forget about it.. you arent going anywhere

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.
