Pros

Merchandise discounts to be used at any Nordstrom company, finding new merchandise on the salesfloor almost every month, a paid short break (10-15 min) included, paid holidays and paid time off

Cons

Tempted to buy everything, merchandises being moved around the store a lot that sometimes it's difficult to help direct customers to where an item is located, employees calling out makes working a busy shift difficult, CLEAR THE RACK are the worst especially when the store is short-staffed, dealing with hardheaded stubborn and spoiled customers who have never worked a day in their life. Due to the staff shortage at my location, I am put at work as if I'm a full-timer when I only asked to be part-time.

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
