Pros

great atmosphere for someone who loves fashion, they focus on using your good judgment and being able to create your own path

Cons

i found that the opportunity of growth was actually quite limited. it was a disappointment, because of everything i'd heard about the company that made me want to apply to begin with. however, now that i'm employed elsewhere, if my "dream" job were to appear at Nordstrom, I would re-consider applying, because I absolutely love fashion and it's a great atmosphere for someone who has a passion for it.

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.
