Nordstrom is hard work but worth it in the long run. - Sales Associate Nordstrom Employee Review

Strong brand, high creative standards, fast-paced environment. Great place to grow as a designer in a large retail brand. High-visibility creative work with real business impact Supportive creative culture with thoughtful peers and leadership

Multiple stakeholders = frequent revisions and shifting priorities Creative ambition sometimes competes with business or timeline constraints Compensation growth can feel slower than market at higher levels

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

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.
