Pros
The best reasons to work at Nordstrom is the customer service training. The training focused on the customer and their experience in Nordstrom. When they leave they remember you, you connect with them, you thank them in writing, you connect with them for future sales and designers they like. You become their personal shopper. They encourage rapport with the customer, follow through and follow up.
Cons
The returns, they affect your pay enormously. They can be out of your control 90% of the time and devesating to your income. It is their reputation of accepting returns and they can affect your pay up until 1 year of the purchase. This for me was difficult.
