Pros

The company as a whole is based on a good philosophy that it continues to thrive on.

Cons

Management at this specific Nordstrom is horrible. Most managers are incompetent and play favorites incessantly. Do not plan on ever getting promoted regardless of your performance and qualifications unless you are really best friends with your manager no matter how idiotic they may be. If you are best buddies with any manager you will get promoted in the company. Do not plan to advance soley on good performance and qualifications.

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.
