Business Outlook
Pros
Nordstrom is a company that promotes from within, understanding the Nordstrom culture is a valuble asset for growth within the company. Nordstrom has a good benefits program and gives back to employees when the company achieves success.
Cons
Nordstom has very high expectations of employees in leadership roles. It is expected to work long hard hours; this is an expectation if you want to persue a career with the company. The expectation is to work over 40 hours a week when in a management role. This is not very condusive to an active social life. It is typical for employees to be promoted based on relationships with in the company rather than hard work.
