Pros

Well, i was on the sales floor as an intern so the competition can get fierce. But the co-workers became my close friends and the amount of freedom you get is unbelievable. If you enjoy the feeling of running you r little boutique then Nordstrom is perfect. Also, you get alot more traffic then the othe high-end guys since we hit every demographic.

Cons

They strictly promote from within. so if you wanna get that store manager job, your gonna invest alot of time since you have to move through each position.

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.
