Nordstrom reviews

The man at the top of the organization started out in women's shoes. Thirty or so years ago. Let's start there. When the company first ventured into e-commerce, you'd imagine it'd recruit expertise in that area. Nah. The company instead staffed senior positions in its IT organization with hack lifers from its brick and mortar organization. The company draws in talented people -- because of the brand's prestige, it always will -- then proceeds to make them miserable. Nordstrom, as a company, embodies everything I revile about Seattlites of Nordic extraction: it's generically pleasant but unknowable. It's main goal is to avoid, not incompetence, but unpleasantness. Also, it's cheap. You'll get paid better anywhere else. You really don't want to work here.

Don't expect to be able to take time off when it's nice outside or when you would actually want to do something. It just won't happen. The work load is not too different from that in NYC but the pay is far less. If you come in at a low wage, you will stay there. If you get paid too much, they will find a way to get rid of you if your performance doesn't match your salary. And decisivness of any kind is entirely lacking here.... there is never any final decision. If you come to an agreement before hiring on, you better get it in writing.
