Pros
The company is fairly well respected within the retail industry and local community. There is job growth potential (to leadership level) without a degree.
Cons
At a leadership level: -The number of hours one needs to commit to get the job done satisfactorily. -The unspoken expectation that the hours will be worked, without complaint, regardless of the toll it takes on ones personal life/family. -The idea that Nordstrom senior management is 'compassionate' about employees having a balance between life and work. -Being hired into a new role only to find that there is no training or coaching available - sink or swim time! The majority of successful people in leadership at Nordstrom, have no children, grown children or are single. As a woman, having it all (wife, mother and employee) is neither a realistic, nor healthy expectation in working at a leadership level within the company.
