Cons

When you think of "visual merchandiser" you'd think that you'd be merchandising product. Well not at Nordstrom! They should really change their title to "Display Artist" or "Handy man". You don't even merchandise in this role because that is the department manager's responsibility. 90% of the time you are moving heavy fixtures and furniture every other week and spending more time at the dumpster throwing out old fixtures than on the floor doing your alleged job. Must be comfortable using broken ladders and doing carpentry work! Definitely NOT a "visual merchandiser" role in my eyes.
