Pros

decent retail pay plus commission in the cosmetic dept

Cons

Horrific Management, terrible schedules, disrespect from management, cult-like environment. Evidently, management is not allowed to socialize or even speak to anyone who is not management outside of work! Also, no employee at anytime is allowed to use the restrooms in the store, they must use the public mall restroom! It's pretty obvious with these 2 rules alone that management has absolutely no respect for their employees. Also, if you don't make your numbers, they expect you to actually walk over to a customer (even if they're in another dept) and pretty much drag them to your counter to sell them something.....Wake up Nordstrom Management....It's supposed to be about Great Customer Service....remember?!!! Oh yes....and if you're full time...don't hold your breath because they can cut your hours to part time anytime they want....nice, Hah?!

Pros

The pay is pretty good for South Florida.

Cons

They play favorites. You have to work inhumane hours. There is no balance between your personal life and work. You are expected to come in early and leave late every shift. Otherwise, you are not doing your job. There is no support at all, and you get talked down to all the time. It is a negative environment and drains all your joy. There is a lot of shady stuff that goes on at that store, but if you kiss the store manager's butt enough the other cheek is turned. Do not believe in the open door policy. It is a crock of crap.
