Pros

commissions, great customers, somewhat flexible hours, fun at times.

Cons

Have to compete directly with associate or assistant managers who not only manage you, your schedule and your sales behavior, but also compete AGAINST you on the floor. Complete idiots promoted and considered in management ranks. Those who "can't" elsewhere, "CAN" at Nordstrom in my opinion.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
