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.

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.
