      An exciting and never boring retail environment

      Pros

      The customers are always nice. Co-workers are very helpful and sometimes you learn to bond with them. The commission can always be good when you know how to sell

      Cons

      The salary can be low. If a customer returns something, it is docked from your paycheck. The interview process was a bit difficult at first.

      Pros

      There is so much room to grow. If you make it clear that you want to move up with the company, Nordstrom will not hold you from doing so. The door is always open if you need to talk to any level of management. They only hire from within

      Cons

      When moving up with Nordstrom your pay does not reflect your job title. In most cases the sales employees have more then Management. Most promotions are actually a lateral move rather then a promotion. You have to move up one slot in title and while taking one step back in pay to move up the ladder. Nordstrom focus so much on the customer that they don't treat the employees the same. You can go to a different retailer and make way more money doing less work.
