Pros

For retail, it has the best pay.

Cons

Management plays huge favors with their friends. Unless you're in that inner circle, forget about being treated fairly and moving up in the company. For a company that strives to offer the best quality to its customers, its funny how Nordstroms still uses such ancient equipement. Then again, there are more 'Made in China' products than anything else, so I guess it makes sense. This company was made into popular and successful because of how they took care of their customers and their employees as well. It was a successful formula and now everything is completely opposite. Nordstrom is no longer Nordstrom. It's like any other retail store. This company will fail as other companies that have failed using the same 'numbers is everything' formula.

Pros

Customers hold us to a high level of service and professionalism. Management holds us to a high level service and productivity. If you are determined to get ahead, you will. Benefits are great, including profit sharing, 401K and excellent choices for medical and dental.

Cons

The downsides are the same everywhere. If you want to be successful in your job, it takes hard work. At Nordstrom, you have to love what you do and love people. Truly love people. Those you work with and your customers. You put in a hard day at work and you go home tired. Sometimes, it feels like you live to work. But, the benefits are rewarding. You make a name for yourself and you get promoted to the next position.
