Pros

Nordstrom is a very professional work environment. It is a place where openness and honesty are encouraged and opportunities for advancement are varied. If you find that you aren't professionally satisfied working in a particular area, you are allowed and in fact encouraged to explore other opportunities within the company.

Cons

The scheduling can sometimes be a little hectic however this is not unusual considering that it is a retail environment.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
