Pros
> Sometimes some of the people you work with are alright > The benefits are decent
Cons
> Hostile work environment > Emotionally immature and untrained management > Unappreciative of workers > Underpaid > Difficulties getting promotions > If management does not like you, they find a reason to fire you (management did this to me after reporting coworker for hostile work environment. Instead of dealing with it, they viewed me as the problem and terminated me.) Additionally, I want to add what they did to someone I worked with in 2018. A woman one of the managers did not like had their security team detain her, handcuff her, and interrogate her for hours in an attempt to confess to stealing $10k worth of merchandise. They claimed they had proof and would not share it with her. Nordstrom had her escorted off the premises by a police officer who then gave her an attorney's card and told her, "this happens all the time. After a big sale they will use the loss of money to pin it on a worker they do not like." After a few weeks she received a letter in the mail stating that they actually were not going to pursue a court case even though they had said they were going to originally. But they said her position was still terminated. Nordstrom is one of the most crooked companies you will ever work for, and I suggest avoiding at all cost. > Expected to have a fully open schedule and eat, breathe, live as if work is your entire life (no real work/life balance)
