Nordstrom Employee Reviews for Sales Associate

"I have worked for Nordstrom for 4 years. My managers have helped me grow as a sales person into a confident and driven one. My relationship building skills helped me a lot in this position as it generated more sales and more business for me."

"Great company to work for! Commissioned positions allow for competitive pay and atmosphere. Company morals shine through their trainers and employees. Lots of opportunity to move up and great compensation when you excel."

"For the most part, I liked it very much."

"Nordstrom is by far one of the best companies to work for! I recently got hired as a sales associate after college and I am very happy with the experience I have had. Nordstrom is all about customer service, which is something I am passionate about. Beyond what we do for customers, I admire what we do for each other. Nordstrom is a company that hires within, the support from peers gets you to the next level and I think it is very inspiring. The company leaders show support for all of us, even without knowing us."

"I’ve worked for Nordstrom since 2009. It is a first-class company that lets you take your career anywhere you want to go. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get their foot in the door for sales."

"I love where I work I just hate retail hours. They have a great staff and good environment to work in."

"I've been with Nordstrom for only six months, but already its the best job I've ever had."

"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."

"Was not impressed with management. They just care about themselves and not their employees. They don't communicate very well and they get the schedules wrong when you get approved days off. Overall, not the best company to work for."

"A lot of work with very little pay."
