"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 Oak Brook, IL: 2 Employee Reviews

Nordstrom Employee

"Poor work environment, people were always upset, and didn't like their jobs. Managers were often young and not trained. Co-works don't get along because of commission sale environment, there is not a reason to help each other. Technology is a joke, can't even ring people up, or find things for them!"

What don't you like about working at Nordstrom?

"There was so much time when there were no customers. I need to be continually challenged."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management needs to be more upfront with the employees. In reviews they would be very brief, simply saying everything is ok or what happened However, they would not offer any words of advice or encouragement. They simply said get the sales up or we'll have to let you go."
