"I've worked for Nordstrom for about a year, and I'm planning on staying for a long time. I feel supported in my ambitions to move up and grow within the company. Our full time benefits are great. All of our supervisors have started at the bottom, so they're understanding and relatable. Our executives are incredibly involved and work hard to improve the experiences of both customers and employees."

Working at Nordstrom in Houston, TX: 4 Employee Reviews

Nordstrom Employee
in Houston, TX

"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."

"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."

What do you like about working at Nordstrom?

"The customers are really awesome. For the most part, they're always pleasant to deal with because they are having that Nordstrom experience."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"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. If you spend maybe 60 to 80 hours a week, when do have time to have a life And once you're tired, I mean really tired, it's on to the next person."

What don't you like about working at Nordstrom?

"All of HR, except for one, will not help you. If there was a pill to kill a bug up your bum, they should take it. The leadership is for the most part fake. It's all about the sales, and if you can't meet your quota, then you're OUT."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be more original, engaged, and genuine."
