"I really enjoy being able to work independently and with a team to build sales and educate surgeons and hospital employees about the products I represent. It is a good feeling to know that I played a small role in helping a patient improve their life.I don't like how highly competitive the industry is, but it helps keep one motivated to be the best one can by keeping up with current and upcoming technologies, knowing your competitors' products, and the needs of your clients."

"I like my coworkers, the product, taking care of the customers, benefits, and creativity."

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

"Be big! Show a lot of personality. If you want to make the big bucks, work in shoes."

What don't you like about working at Nordstrom?

"In my experience, when someone has a preconceived notion about you, it never goes away, even if others see you in a positive light. I'm sure this is true in many businesses. It's just a little harder when so many companies' leaders are women. Women have had such a hard time getting ahead in their careers, that they look at every woman as a competitor."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I think some of the upper level management still don't connect with the sales force on the floor. They speak the inverted pyramid, but don't reach out enough to learn what the customer really needs."

I work when he is off, and visa versa but there is little direct communication, no follow-up and it feels like we are falling further and further behind. If I had his job I would give better notes, follow up during the off time, complete task and not leave things left undone."
