Pros

•You can work at your own pace for the most part - hybrid situation

Cons

•Low pay - You most likely won’t touch $30/hr, unless you worked for the company that Nordstrom contracted their IT services out to for a decade. The company got every penny out of Nordstrom without delivering proper support, the contract was terminated, but somehow most of them were hired back on as level 2 or senior techs. Now Nordstrom nickel and dimes techs and everything is about how much money we can/did save the Nord bros. No overtime either. •Training is nonexistent - I got hired and there was no type of onboarding or training. I learned how to fix things on the spot from poorly written/untested articles and asking questions via Teams. Now you are heavily encouraged to ask the AI that was developed to figure things out. •Lots of travel - In this position I had to travel to Orlando almost weekly. Expense reimbursement is in place for gas or anything you have to pay out of pocket, but that didn’t make up for early mornings and hours on the road in heavy traffic. You may also have to travel to Louisiana; per diem isn’t a thing. •Poor transferability - Don’t expect to be able to move your position elsewhere as easily as salespeople and managers do.

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.
