Not a great place to work in Finance - Senior Financial Analyst Nordstrom Employee Review

1) The technology used internally is very outdated. The finance systems are old and scrappy and layer after layer of quick fixes. You end up spending more time validating that the data is correct than doing real work. 2) Benefits are nothing special and pay is way under market. They try to promote that they have great benefits, but when you look at around at any other Seattle company, you realize it is a joke. 3) There is a lack of education and experience in a lot of management. There is a need for management training and some external hiring in high leadership experiences. Nordstrom has done a big push to hire externally for SFA and FA positions to get more experience. However this doesn't matter when your managers, vps, svps have worked at Nordstrom most of their careers and aren't willing to look at things in a different way. 4) Work Life Balance all depends on what team you work on. At times it was not good and other times it was fine.
