Pros

The people are great and very energetic. The company encourages you to stay, work hard and grow with them. Very supportive.

Cons

The environment can be cut throat and competitive. Returns get deducted from your salary and it is roughly 10%. The months of January, February, and August are slow

Pros

Nordstrom invests time to give their associates the tools needed to successfully sell the right product to their customers. The customer service is above any other retail company and the internal service to their employees is just as fantastic!

Cons

Because there is such an emphasis to sell and make commission, there are times when taking time off seems to not be encouraged by management. I was required to work all holidays if scheduled and there wasn't a lot of flexibility to switch shifts with others.
