Business outlook
Pros
Fantastic corporate culture at headquarters. Management & employees are professional, respectful & gracious. Overall, people seem happy and the environment is very upbeat. Perks: the downtown Seattle location is great fun, with tons of places to eat & shop. The discount is fantastic, and the atmosphere in the office verges on glamorous - people are dressed beautifully and most of them display excellent manners.
Cons
There is an imbalance between the cost of living in Seattle and the pay at Nordstrom. There is no bonus structure for my position, and no annual salary review. Health insurance and 401k matching are a little better at other companies. Additionally, it can be difficult to get honest feedback on performance.
