      Pros

      Great employee discount for managers (33%). Also 40% discount once a year. Could be a good place to work. People are usually helpful.

      Cons

      Senior management needs to respect their employees more. Need to get back to basics (customer service). There is too much pressure to sell sell sell.

      Pros

      Nordstrom certainly remains one of the best stores as far as what you have to sell, the merchandise is great and if you have a good customer base and the right hours to work the money can be good. The posibilities for upward advancement are still good if you are a high acheiver..they do promote from within.

      Cons

      The new sales quotas are extemely high and difficult to achieve unless you have an established customer base..the focus on agressive sales tactics and continual phone campaigning is new and a 180 degree change from the friendly customer service ideals in past years.
