Pros

Hands down...this is the best company I have ever worked for. The Nordstrom culture thrives in CR, IA. It is a very "family oriented" culture. Most of the management know all the employees names, their kids names and maybe even their dogs names...you're not another number at Nordstrom and the people care. They want to see them succeed; they challenge and lead them to thrive. Not only do they care but also motivate by always doing extra things for their employees such as treats during busy seasons and pep-rallies to encourage teamwork.

Cons

The benefits package is fair but it would be better if the bump up in vacation days was 3 years, instead of 5 (especially for salaried employees).

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.
