"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."

"I worked for Nordstrom for approximately 8 months which is including the COVID time period up until the time I left. I started out as a seasonal gift wrapper and was hired on full time after Christmas. I thought my store handled COVID procedures quite well but I believe opened up a bit too soon. My managers were all extremely nice and helpful, my coworkers made it a fun environment to be in. Several aspects of the store and company I would say were organized well. I did feel cared about and nothing was forced."

"Overall, I had a good experience working at Nordstrom Rack. My supervisors were always available if I had questions. My co-workers were there to help if the workload was too heavy for us. Unfortunately, moving up didn't seem possible, especially in our department. Aside from that, it was a good company and took care of us very well."

"I’ve worked for Nordstrom since 2016. I began my career with the company as an intern and worked my up to the role I’m in right now as a department manager for women’s designer apparel. The company has become very challenging to grow with and continuing seeking further career opportunities with as they are continuously cutting back and eliminating jobs and closing stores year after year."

"I have worked for Nordstrom since 2017 and have had three promotions within working there for three years. The great thing about Nordstrom is that you can make a lot of money just being in sales, as long as you’re willing to put the hard work in. It is getting increasingly difficult to move up into management, but if you’re like me and prefer to work the floor and be around people and customers, then that isn’t a problem. You must be a people person for this job. Customer service is the top priority at this company and making the customer happy is the objective of every transaction."

"I have worked for Nordstrom for over 10 years. Their inclusive culture and growth possibilities have kept me excited to work for them. As a retailer that strongly relies on brick and mortar business they are making forward thinking steps to become more digitally enabled. I am empowered to take care of our customers and use good judgment while given access to resources to resolve customer and/or employee inquiries. Due to Covid-19 the retail climate has become uncertain and has halted growth potential."

"I have worked for Nordstrom since 2010. Nordstrom delivers a culture of inclusivity and growth. Many employees who have come and gone attribute their strong work ethic and customer obsession with their time at Nordstrom. They offer competitive benefits and the ability to write your own paycheck. With brick and mortar retailers they are pioneering the combination of digital selling and services. Due to the strain of COVID-19 customer service in a physically interpersonal setting may prove time be challenging but I know Nordstrom will make the most appropriate moves to ensure the safety of their customers and employees."

"Nordstrom is a great company to work for because of how managers put employees at the top. they believe that employees are as important or maybe more important than the actual costumers because we are the people serving the customers and giving that 100% effort all the time."

"I have worked for Nordstrom for over 10 years. I have worked in several areas of the company and at several locations. In the stores you have a great environment and you learn lots of great skills in the service and sales industry. You can also work in several support roles like IT, Logistical, and sales support roles. The focus is always on the customer and really teaches you to embrace every customer. The technology opportunities are slim at Nordstrom unless you are in Seattle where the corporate roles are."
