Pros
It's fun to say you work for Nordstrom, but the glow will wear off. I enjoyed the discount and the company's great reputation among customers, but I think any corporate employee could find a better, less political, less toxic work environment where workloads are more reasonable and pay is higher.
Cons
When I think about my time at Nordstrom, "exploited" is the idea that comes to mind. This feeling is only getting stronger the longer I'm away from the company after 4+ years. My team was not well supported, despite delivering noticeable and meaningful outputs. I was dramatically underpaid, and despite industry comps, acknowledgement of this pay disparity by HR, and recognition of the issue by my boss, it was not addressed. The work I provided to Nordstrom was worth dramatically more than any support or compensation they gave back to me.
