Pros
The internship allows greater/faster opportunity for growth within the company. Working during one of the busiest times of the year, during the Anniversary Sale. Commission! Love the company culture. Everyone is very friendly, and Store Manager and HR always have an open door if you want to talk about your goals. 20% discount on merchandise! Throughout the internship, get to meet a variety of interesting people in different positions throughout the company. For example, met the VP of Marketing! Great to hear each person's Nordstrom story, and they were all open to questions.
Cons
Can sometimes "rub elbows" with other employees, since it is commissioned based. Sometimes worked overtime. Wish I had more responsibilities with my internship, or was mentored more by my department manager.
