Nordstrom reviews

Where to begin? I have a lot of cons. 1. My former manager. She's a micromanager who'd stalk the department on her days off via the teams chat. She is also a bully who asks personal questions and then would issue her judgments on what you said. 2. We'd have to post our whereabouts in the teams app ("I'm going to the bathroom.") 3. We couldn't leave when our shift was over without getting permission. It would sometimes take an hour to be issued the OK. 4. We were all assigned tasks because there aren't enough operations staff, so we, the commission sales people, would have to do stock work and tidying up instead of helping customers. 5. Certain team members are allowed to stand at the cash wrap and ring all the customers and steal all the sales, even though we are told no "cash wrap parties." 6. You have to fight for a cash register because they'll have a dozen people scheduled and have only 5 cash registers. 7. I would sometimes work an hour or two over because there are so many tasks. 8. Some people were assigned the same harder tasks time after time. (Me.) 9. Some team members don't do their tasks because they know eventually someone will do it because it has to be done. One task is doing everyone else's go backs and cleaning out their fitting rooms. And we'd have to take hangers down to the basement - a task that would take a solid 20 minutes out of your selling day. 10. At the NYC flagship store, the employee entrance is in the basement. It's 90 or 100 steps up and down and you aren't allowed to use the elevator unless you have a doctor's note saying you are disabled. Climbing those steps at the end of the day was absolutely miserable. I heard someone say it is the biggest sign of disrespect from the management to us, and I agree.

management is a lot of attitudes. not really room for growth. the visual merchandising aspect of the job is a joke. it’s not what it used to be. not really creative at all, that’s put on the back burner. basically if you want to move furniture day and night and put stuff in the dumpster this is the job for you. you’re being pulled in different directions all the time. everyone is mad at you but demands your attention all the time. you’ll work really hard on something for it to be changed the next day or week.
