Pros
the merchandise discount is awesome, but that doesn't mean one can actually afford to shop there while working. it takes a lot to be successful here
Cons
In order to make a pyacheck you have to sell bc nordstrom is a full comisison environment and working in a clothing department you make a meager 6.75% off your sales. do the math- that's a lot you have to sell in order to support yourself. every dept has its sharks, who have worked there for years and who will take every single customer who steps onto the floor. Also, they promote form within- understandable, but in order to get anywhere aka an asst you ahve to sell your way up,a nd as i said it's hard. so if you have managed before and have great leadership skills- tooo bad bc unless you are a selling shark they will not even consider you, which is really unfortunate because being a good seller and being a good manager are 2 totally different things. and to be honest, selling gets old easily..
