Pros

Nordstrom, compared to other retailers similar to them provide very good benefits to their employees. I got paid good for being a casheer, and the other people I worked with taught me a lot. The managers are very nice and helpful.

Cons

During holidays and sales the hours are ridiculous. Sometimes I would have to work 10 hr shifts because of how crazy it gets. Sometimes the sales associates can get crabby as well. If you work there as a sales associate, basically your life is working there because you will really have no time for anything else besides trying to be the best seller in your department.

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.
