Pros

I was able to grow my career at Nordstrom with multiple IT opportunities.

Cons

Nordstrom IT is going through some major changes. They want to be industry standard and have decided that in order to do so, they needed to bring in a lot of new managers from other companies. The downfall with this is that the culture is getting lost and when you bring in managers from other companies that are light years behind of Nordstrom - you get some serious issues within the management ranks. Every manager is trying to prove that their way is better than the next manager's idea. Nordstrom IT has become so overly political.

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.
