Pros
Clean stores Decent merchandise selections with a few high end brands Time and a half on Sunday Loyal customers No crazy holiday hours
Cons
Inexperienced management Archaic and stiff dress code Lack of efficient technology Micro managing and distrustful of employees There are lots of "hidden rules" that you are unaware of until you are called out and it's too late to find a solution A cult like atmosphere Horrible scheduling system Department Managers have no real authority to run and lead their respective departments The compensation is not all it's cracked up to be...1 percent commission...come on! That's nothing compared to what Nordstrom pays it's employees. Lack of diversity in upper management Managers get promoted too quickly and they haven't really gained enough experience in their trade This company tries to copy cat Nordstrom and sorry it doesn't cut it! Lack of advertising High turnover and having to cover other departments While going thru an actual interview or training process if you call it that, HR had to read verbatim from a book to conduct an interview and the training was done kind of the same way. Need I say more??? There are too many other cons to mention!
