Pros

Good place to start a career. Management does try to help employees grow including work time to help build skills.

Cons

Nordstrom technology is going through an identity crisis. Technology obviously wants to be a tech company but in reality they are a retail company. This causes a lot of friction.

Hello, Thank you for making us aware of this problem, and I’m very sorry to learn that communication of our vision has so far been unclear. We strive to give every employee the tools and information that he or she needs to execute and understand their role, and if we fell short, we’d like to hear where. As we grow, we are simultaneously working to make expectations and responsibilities clearer for each role on the team, and we are collecting feedback along the way to help us improve. If you would be open to sharing more details about your experience, we would like to review them to inform our efforts. Please contact us at any time at NordTechFeedback@nordstrom.com. Sincerely, Patrick Welch VP Technology Nordstrom

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.
