Pros
Customers hold us to a high level of service and professionalism. Management holds us to a high level service and productivity. If you are determined to get ahead, you will. Benefits are great, including profit sharing, 401K and excellent choices for medical and dental.
Cons
The downsides are the same everywhere. If you want to be successful in your job, it takes hard work. At Nordstrom, you have to love what you do and love people. Truly love people. Those you work with and your customers. You put in a hard day at work and you go home tired. Sometimes, it feels like you live to work. But, the benefits are rewarding. You make a name for yourself and you get promoted to the next position.
