Business Outlook
Pros
Enjoy working with the majority of co-workers-except for the sharks. Have met wonderful customers.
Cons
Long hours, unappreciated by manager-SPH is all that matters, have to compete against department manager for sales. High level of stress for PTR, SPH and opening new accounts. High level of customer returns-which go against your commission for one year. Have to make sure your hours do not dip below 129 per month or you have to pay your full insurance premium. Not eligible for insurance until you have worked 1000 hours. Nordstrom promotes top sellers to management who have limited training. Definitely need a second income in the home to survive-especially in the current state of the economy.
