Pros

It's fun to look around the store (on your precisely monitored 15 minute break), the staff is friendly, human resource department is very helpful and has it together, benefits are offered (but not until you work there for 6 months or some ridiculous amount of time)

Cons

Demeaning, bureaucratic... I worked in the spa and they took away internet privileges and stools for the client coordinator to sit when they weren't busy. The job is very boring and requires little to no skill or knowledge. A monkey could literally do this job. You also have to stand for your 8 hour shifts. Maybe that is why they pay hourly and not much more than minimum wage. Also, no commission on products for client coordinators. Overall a terrible job.

Pros

There is definitely opportunity for growth with Nordstrom! Some complain how our commission works but as long as you're a "people person" with a sense of persuasiveness you'll do fine. -Uncapped commission -Well organized company -Room for growth -Appreciated by management -Great Coworkers -Friendly, mellow, work environment -Great products/ selection of products -Opportunity to move from store-to-store -Promotes within -Not too demanding physically

Cons

Sometimes managers can stress the fact that you need to be contacting customers when business is slow, but you can only call the customers so many times within a period, without nagging or coming off as annoying. If you're not into working hard, (straight commission) then be prepared to get chewed out and most likely fired. -Commission based (can be a GREAT thing if you have the heart of a sales person) -Management often nags and pressures you when business is slow
