Transitional Pains - Anonymous employee Nordstrom Employee Review

- Amazing discount (20% or 33%, goes up to 40% at various times in the year) - Employee only sample sales to get some designer stuff at a ridiculous discount - $100 transit subsidy - ESPP - Work/life balance is generally excellent -- rare to see emails after 5pm or on weekends. Majority of those in tech don't even put work email on their phone because it's not necessary - My base salary pay was competitive but I understand that's not typically the case. If you push for it, it can be possible - Downtown location is great -- lots of choices for lunch and you're just blocks away from Pike Place Market. There's a nice patio on the 17th floor of the building with amazing views and is a good spot to de-compress briefly - Onsite massage offered twice a week - Major community involvement--lots of opportunities to volunteer and Nordstrom will match your charitable donations. - Changes described in the Cons section is driven by a desire by the Tech org to evolve and improve upon itself organizationally (how it's implemented is another story...)
