Pros

Its really up to you as to how much money you make. If your good with people and can sell.. you can make anywhere from 60 - 100,000

Cons

Hours kind of suck. Having to work weekends and holidays is also a con.

Pros

Nordstrom is a great place to work if you are passionate about selling and passionate about the product you are selling. Salespeople work on commission, so as a salesperson, how ever much work you put into your job, you will receive that much more back in compensation. It is a great place to clientele and run your own business.

Cons

There is always pressure to make sales. If you are not a people person, this retail environment is probably not suited for you.

Pros

There are so many different career paths and opportunities to explore that it is hard to get "stuck" in the muck. Just try something new and find what you love! The people are mostly friendly and helpful with a passion for what they do.

Cons

It sometimes feels as if the "be your own success story" is limited to sales associates and managers. There are no goals given to those outside the sales team so there is nothing to work towards. Also it is hard to explore around to random areas that you never come across.
