      "Customer service" focus applies at the corporate level as well - at all levels at all times. Excellent place to work!

      Pros

      Comments below apply to the corporate headquarters: -Smart, down-to-earth people across all levels of the organization -Senior management (directors, VPs, and c-level executives) listen to every level of the organization -Strong collaborative culture -If you are a top performer, you will have the freedom to pick your own path, access to top talent, and choose your own projects - very entrepreneurial in that sense -Competition among employees is pretty minimal -Lots of community service work, lots of involvement in the community

      Cons

      Pros

      The people are great and very energetic. The company encourages you to stay, work hard and grow with them. Very supportive.

      Cons

      The environment can be cut throat and competitive. Returns get deducted from your salary and it is roughly 10%. The months of January, February, and August are slow

      Pros

      Nordstrom invests time to give their associates the tools needed to successfully sell the right product to their customers. The customer service is above any other retail company and the internal service to their employees is just as fantastic!

      Cons

      Because there is such an emphasis to sell and make commission, there are times when taking time off seems to not be encouraged by management. I was required to work all holidays if scheduled and there wasn't a lot of flexibility to switch shifts with others.
