Nordstrom Sales Associate- Rack reviews

Tempted to buy everything, merchandises being moved around the store a lot that sometimes it's difficult to help direct customers to where an item is located, employees calling out makes working a busy shift difficult, CLEAR THE RACK are the worst especially when the store is short-staffed, dealing with hardheaded stubborn and spoiled customers who have never worked a day in their life. Due to the staff shortage at my location, I am put at work as if I'm a full-timer when I only asked to be part-time.

Health insurance is pretty much non existent unless you are an assistant manager or above! They “dangle the carrot” by making you hit a set # of hours in order to get insurance but the irony is that they CONSTANTLY CUT HOURS! Along with the fact that it seems Ike I practically have to “beg” just to be scheduled 30-35 a week! I’ve been working there almost a year and still no health insurance bc I’m not being scheduled the hours that one has to have to be insured! It’s a trap. Good Dept Managers are few and far between... Managers have the “power” to block someone from wanting to promote or transfer to another store or dept bc you have to have your managers “blessing” to go, so if your manager doesn’t like something about you or if they’re just catty you’re screwed.
