Pros

There are some amazing, talented people that work here.

Cons

A lot of effort goes into telling a god story but the reality is most of the employees that have made Nordstrom what it is today are running out the door fast. The culture of Nordstrom is shifting from being a company that puts it s customers first to being overly profit driven and expense strapped. Too many initiatives but not enough man power to support them. Executive and Director heavy. The inverted pyramid that Nordstrom lives by has no middle layer anymore. There really is no path forward to grow as they now hire from the outside to fill most open positions.

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.
