      I have been working at Nordstrom full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Quiet bar with generally nice people coming in to eat. Customers typically also shop at Nordstrom so they expect a certain quality of service.

      Cons

      Bar itself doesn't see too much action. I averaged $10 in tips per hour, with my best days being $20 per hour in tips and my worst being $4 per hour. Your take home will change seasonally.

      Pros

      Cons

      Can be overly profit-driven, with competition among sales associates

    9. "Psychological warfare. Scandal. Window dressing."

      StarStarStarStarStar

      • Compensation and Benefits
      Former Employee - Sales Associate in Vancouver, BC
      Doesn't Recommend
      Negative Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Nordstrom full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      I worked with some pretty amazing people that I'm still friends with! If you love to drink the kool-aid, you'll go far in this company.

      Cons

      Lack of integrity from management. Lack of professionalism to the employees from management. Cattiness from upper management. Favouritism. Company doesn't acknowledge when the economy is down and the pressure is unbearable. It isn't this bad at other retailers.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your employees with respect. Trust me, the customers can tell when the company has pushed for higher sales. It's uncomfortable as a shopper and it's uncomfortable as an employee. Attitude.

      Nordstrom2019-09-20

    10. "Too much favouritism and no career movement if you’re not liked. It’s not based on experience or the hard work you do."

      Advice to Management

      Why bother giving advice!!! They’ll do nothing to protect the front line associates. It’s all about the mighty $$$
