No effort to keep good employees, and treated like we're not an important part of the company. - Customer Service Associate Nordstrom Employee Review

Pros

Unlimited PTO, plus the other people on the team are AMAZING. I love my direct managers, and they do their best to make you feel appreciated. The new CEO seems like she wants to push the company in the right direction, and I'm excited to see where she's headed.

Cons

Constantly losing people due to low pay. Management micromanages everything, expects you to train people as soon as you're out of training, yet you get ZERO pay raises. No structure for moving up/getting raises. Stylists/sales people will treat you like dirt despite the fact that they couldn't make half their sales without you. Stylists get trips to Hawaii for doing well, yet the Service Team gets sent home early without pay if they do well. Management will give you more responsibilities in order to "prepare you for a promotion/new role", and then give the promotion to someone who didn't take on any extra responsibility to get it.

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.
