Pros

Good benefits, decent discount, reasonable work schedules,

Cons

Lazy, disrespectful, catty managers who show obvious favoritism toward certain employees. No return policy, which means Nordstrom will accept all returns no matter how long ago the merchandise was purchased or what condition it is in. Unless the merchandise was purchased exactly 365 days prior, it comes out of your paycheck! Unreasonable sales goals.

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.
