      You need to work at Nordstrom if you are in retail...there isn't another retailer in the world that compares!

      Pros

      You have the ability to have any job you want within the company...you just need to work hard and treat customers how you would like to be treated. Nordstrom has a great 401K plan as well as great choices of medical/dental insurance. You can start out as a salesperson - and literally work yourself up to a store manager - overseeing a 50 million dollar a year store to start! Nordstrom consistently provides on the job learning and development training - which gives anyone on the salesfloor invaluable help on how to increase their paychecks by providing outstanding customer service!

      Cons

      The holiday season schedule is crazy...but not unlike other retailers. When you are first hired as a salesperson - you are ranked at the "bottom of the schedule" - and through hard work and giving great service you can move up to the top of the schedule. Sometimes in a large department it may take you a while to do this - which is a negative because the employees at the top of the schedule are given the best hours, preferred day(s) off and will most likely meet the criteria to have benefits. Also, it can, at times, be an aggressive environment because it is based on commission.

      Pros

      Well, i was on the sales floor as an intern so the competition can get fierce. But the co-workers became my close friends and the amount of freedom you get is unbelievable. If you enjoy the feeling of running you r little boutique then Nordstrom is perfect. Also, you get alot more traffic then the othe high-end guys since we hit every demographic.

      Cons

      They strictly promote from within. so if you wanna get that store manager job, your gonna invest alot of time since you have to move through each position.
