Pros

Nordstrom offers highly competitive pay it is the highest pay. You’ll probably find working in the suburbs, great networking opportunity. You meet a lot of other professionals in a multitude of fashion industries.

Cons

hours get cut when business is slow based off of employee performance. If you can’t meet your goals your hours get cut often due to the lock of foot traffic into the store. If you are hired full-time that does not guarantee full-time hours.

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.
