Pros

There are career advancement opportunities in sales or management by selling some of the finer products in the retail industry. Nordstrom gives an employee the skills to better themselves both inside and outside the workplace.

Cons

Some management positions are held by incompetent managers and the hiring process is somewhat questionable. There is a lot of internal hiring but can be tricky when trying to move up in the company because many applicants send resumes to the position.

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.
