Pros

Self expression, friendship, ability to provide top level customer service and a very bright future. Everything else will fall into place if you just work! Don't get involved in petty conversations, play hard when you can, but always remember you are running a business.

Cons

You have to punch in to work. I like to get to work early and stay late. Sometimes, I don't want to punch in, I would rather just come in, even on off days to stay in the Nordstrom conversation. To be able to do this for free sometimes, instead of punching in would be great, because I don't want to take away from my managers budget!

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.
