"What sold me on Nordstrom is they said we value our employees, but at the very end it was all about sales. Period... or the more you sell, the bigger your paycheck.

"Best company to work at as far as retail goes. You must be thick skinned and have the ability to stand up for yourself. You must prepare yourself to be thrown to the sharks because if you can deal with greedy sales associates with bills to pay then by all mean hop in. Otherwise if this bothers you, then you will not make any money and they will boot you out."

"I’ve worked with Nordstrom since 2015 and fell in love with the management structure. Since then it has been on a downward hill and they can’t seem to make it work. Management takes on so much responsibility that they don’t have time to train their team properly. Along with not being paid additional for taking on added floor volume. It feels that senior management makes decisions without considering that all store locations are different."
