Pros

Nordstrom is a great place to work and develop your career. I worked there for 14 years in several different positions and managed to work my way up from Stockperson to Assistant Financial Planner for a Vice President. There is a lot of respect and professionalism between peers and management. You live and breathe customer service both within and outside the company. Communication is great and there are a lot of opportunities. I left for a shorter commute and better work-life balance but later realized I had it great there. Now there's a complete hiring freeze because of the economy and I can't get back in.

Cons

Commute, no free parking (to corporate office) Work-life balance is not very good depending on manger Very few work flexibility options, i.e telecommuting, part-time, etc.

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.
