Pros

Good money if you hit the right department (designers), if you are a beast selling and if you have a manager that supports you and wants you to be succesful

Cons

In all the years (many) working for Nordstrom I had many managers and they have the power to change your life from paradise to hell for no reason, you can be a super star, if he/she doesn’t like you (even for personal reasons) you will start to suffer

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.
