"Nordstrom has a strong reputation for being one of the largest, enduring businesses that remains profitable. As a family owned business, their business model remains dated but is proven effective. Nordstrom is a leader in high end fashion, fashion trends and has a limited number of very large stores across the nation. Nordstrom is also a primary source of label purchases such as Calvin Klein or Thomas Pink. Because of this, Nordstrom is seen a very high end distribution and department shopping paradise."

Nordstrom Employee

"There should be blogs, books, class-action lawsuits *galore* for how awful this place is to work. Deceitful, cut-throat, villainess, retaliatory and a place where I saw true evil. Does Blake Nordstrom know how poorly its sales employees are treated Expectations upon hire don't tell you not making commission (paying for yourself times ten) is called a MISDRAW and you'll be punished. Opp Checks, malicious managers, discouraged from time off: it's truly the WORST company to be employed by."
