Pros

Working at the Rack is a great place to look for a job if your looking to be there long term. The company loves promoting within and they really do a great job of sticking to it. The people I work with are friendly, outgoing and fun to be around which makes it a fun and professional place to work at. Its fast paced and theres never any down time; if you don't enjoy being busy then working at Nordstrom is not for you.The pay is good, the managers are all professional and the company in general is a great one to work for.

Cons

I honestly have no cons. My position as a sales associate is a pretty basic retail position; as far as working on the floor, its no different from any other retail job. As I said, it is very fast paced and sometimes I'm working my department all by myself which can sometimes be overwhelming. Once you learn how to multitask, the job becomes much easier.

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.
