Nordstrom reviews

The only downside is the less than stellar benefits package. It's geared towards a very young work force (the sales team trends very young) and centers around unlimited PTO, which is great when you're in your twenties but once you have a family you can't really take advantage of it. Likewise the health insurance is fine when you're young, but it's a lot of money out of pocket to cover spouse/kids. No matching 401k is just crazy to me, and no stock incentives is also a disappointment. It makes sense in the context of what young twenties cares about, but if you have or are starting a family it doesn't compare well with pretty much any other company their size or bigger.

Run fast! It's not at all what it seems! You are on trial for at least a month to see if they like you and you fit in. To fit in you need to be young, straight out of college or under 30. You need to fit in to the sorority scene. Everyone seems friendly and that they love their job, but in fact are not friendly to everyone. Very segregated in groups, unless you start with others and make friends. They are not clear when you are invited to a "trial" interview what that looks like and how long the actual process is. Even if you make your trial goals early, you can not become full time until the next month because there is only a new employee training starting once a month. Don't quit your job until you know you will get hired, but you are expected to be there every minute you can even if you do not know what you should be doing. It seems like they prefer people who are able to commit all their time there without any other job and take part in just observing and participating in frequent drinks at 6 at the bar. No work life balance. Backwards hiring system and based on your "coolness" factor and schmoozing with the others. If you are independent and can survive on your own then you won't fit in. Cult like environment and feeling even to my customers who came in for appointments.
