Pros
Nordstrom paid great. You could potentially control how much you made. Looks good to future employers. Respectable job. Make some good friends, it was like a family. Gives self confidence, after working there you feel like you can work anywhere!
Cons
They expect Nordstrom to be your entire life. They were a pain when trying to get time off, even if you never asked for it and it was only a couple days. Commission sucks!! So competitive, it can be impossible to stay on top of your work. If you want to work retail, this is NOT an easy job. Don't expect a life outside of work.
