Pros

You find out the newest trends while you're getting paid, Management encourages sales associates to try on merchandise for feedback & knowledge, Pay is reasonable, Get a commission check whenever you reach a sales goal for the pay period, GREAT staff / store manager, HR is always behind you and on your side, Every employee is given chances to move up within the company (Had a store manager who started as a sales associate when he was just 18 and worked for the company through college) overall a great place to work

Cons

You have to open atleast 1 Nordstrom credit card every month. If not, you're required to attend a class that will teach you how to do so.

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.
