Pros
Good values. They put a lot of emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. There is very little pressure to work long hours or try to do the corporate grind. They also ask for a lot of feedback and make changes based on that feedback. Nordstrom does a good job of supporting work-life balance. They work with employees to make sure our needs are being met. They have been very flexible throughout Covid times to make sure we can manage work along with childcare.
Cons
They can be a bit old-fashioned and slow to change. I don't think they would have been as open to remote work without the pandemic. They can be frustratingly cautious about adopting new technologies, but they do usually come around. They have made an effort to improve diversity amongst under-represented groups. I have seen good progress, but there is still more work to be done.
