I loved working with the customers to assist with shopping needs. We worked as a team on the sales floor. Lots of cool products to suggest to customers.
Competitive sales. InvIn
Just the great deals at Nordstrom Rack. There are also a lot of amazing people who work there.
They expect only the best from you. They encourage you to assist the customer by any means possible. They are helpful in supporting their employees and give opportunity for growth.
I think that Nordstrom has an amazing business model and they are one of the best retail markets today so I don't have anything to add.
I practiced what I would say because I sometimes get anxious about interviews. I also edited my resume to reflect the job position before arriving early in my best outfit.
Inverted pyramid, Employees actually have a voice and are involved in decisions within their competency. Open door policy-all Executives are available and approachable
Had 9 bosses in a 5 year period

Approachable and live the Company Culture
If you are not aligned with the Company politics, you should still be comfortable expressing what you do believe in.
Spoke to multiple Employees at all levels, for a clear understanding of expectations
Slightly lower, and once you hit top of the range within your position, there are no more increases.
Was the most diverse Organization I worked for. Diversity and inclusion is a Company priority
Had the ability to build out locations in a major Metropolitan Area
Pros for this company are very limited: decent pay. That's it.
Unorganized, unprofessional, lack of empathy, lack of proper leadership, favoritism, scandal's within, lack of accountability, lack of responsible leadership, 0 room for promoting within because they outsource employees for management roles, attendance policy is a joke, you face retaliation if you report any incidents, numerus lawsuits constantly against this company. Hiring is a revolving door because they can't keep people here longer than a few months due to their ridiculous expectation of their employees. And way more...
overtime constantly...
If you work like a dog and make all of your leadership like you, they may be more willing to work with you.
hiring a new fresh face for every single leadership role
I was hired during Covid, I didn't have an interview.
It averages higher than most companies.
this company is pretty diverse.
Personally it would be when I get to clock out for the day.
Solid career path, company values, inclusion collaboration, work life balance, leadership, training, innovative and creative opportunities, community involvement
Expectations were sometimes overwhelming but I was up for the challenges. Other companies may have paid more for the positions I held but I would not trade the experience for anything!
Being surrounded by fashion and beautiful things, making people happy, being valued, working for a family orientation . Loved the bonus program and of course the discount
Perks
I did not like the culture while working at Nordstrom, managers always had their favorites and you were not able to get ahead.
Discount
I love helping clients and brainstorming strategies to increase sales and brand recognition.
I love what I do! However, I would like to have the opportunity to collaborate with a team.
Designing with integrity and heart.
I love the diversity among my co-workers.
There is not one thing I do not like about Nordstrom
I enjoy the discounts that employees get, how we can all get along and work well together, and how managers make us feel like we can share our thought and opinions on work processes.
Friendly atmosphere, opportunity to earn a good wage if you’re a passionate seller.
Pressure to sell, sell, sell and push ‘remote sales’ from managers.
Company matching 401K and good health insurance discounts.
I really enjoyed the team I worked with and I learned a lot from many departments.
People are power hungry. They are unwilling to change.
Discounts!
customers, employees . everything
nothing comes to mind
building a great customer base, working as a team. having the sense urgency and building trust with clients and coworkers.
The management seems to really care about the advancement of their team. The higher ups also seemed to be very passionate and committed to their roles.
demanding sales goals
Great coworkers
Being in the mist of the newest fashion trends
Favoritism, politics and rude managers
The handsome men that I helped wardrobe : )
Clearly defined cultural values. “Nordstrom Nice” is a thing, and I felt safe being my authentic self there.
The company could probably benefit from more cultural sensitivity training, especially in its managers. I’ve had leaders and coworkers make some questionable comments to me that alienated me.
Employee discount and NPG sales
people I worked with
politics and slow decision making
insurance and retirement plan
autonomy, previous leadership and values
current course/path of company
people, emp disc
Professional, values focused. Great work life balance.
People promoted into roles unrelated to their experience - great for individual learning. Tough for teams, and tough to specialize. Also very silo-ed organization and it's difficult to get teams to work together.

discounts on clothes, long term friends I've met, it was a good experience overall but I had to really jump start my own career
Larger company as a whole is an awesome place to work. There is no question as to the goal of the company, which is to constantly improve customer service. Also, the business of retail is very interesting and Nordstrom is on the bleeding edge of how to serve customers in a hybrid marketplace.
The technology organization has had senior leadership turnover two times in the past five years and each time it drives out good people and part of the Nordstrom culture. There is also cronyism to the Nth degree with most new hires in positions of leadership, from mid-level managers to VPs, coming from one specific employer. This change is creating a team mentality where the right way seems to be to mimic what has been done at the older employer.
The merchandise discount is hard to beat.
Great Co-workers, fun environment
Poor management, lack of communication.
My discount for clothing.
I really liked that you were trained to do your job and then given the independence to do it.
Poor upper management, always pushing their responsibilities on to the sales associates.
Discount on the merchandise
The people I worked with.
The way employees were treated, by both management, and corporate.
