Pros
I thought that they do hire good people. I still am friends with people that I worked with at Nordies. One of the best things was that I loved having the discount. The pay is good too. I will say that if you work in Shoes you can make a ton more money than Cosmetics. Their health benefits were good. If you do good at Sales you can make a good commission. Their customer service philosophy and training I thought were good.
Cons
I would say though that unfortunately I felt that they never really cared about me as an employee and there was a ton of favortism going on. The favortism had nothing to do with performance it was based if the Manager liked you as a person or not. They would never work with your schedule even if you had an emergency come up with a family member which is very frustrating! It also seemed that the managers always got Sunday off yet if you ever inquired about having at least one Sunday a month off they thought you were complaining. I basically liked the other employees that I worked with. I felt that there was no chance of advancing seems that I knew people that had worked there for 10 years and still not promoted. Hmm.. I wish they treated their employees as descent as we were expected to treat the customers. Funny how that was not as important to them.
