"Nordstrom separates itself from others in the industry by incorporating detailed, long lasting relationships with each of their customers. Employees are trained to complete outfits for the customer's occasion rather than sell one or two items. In other words, most of the sales staff act as a personal shopper to their customers. The staff also utilize a CRM system to send out promotional opportunities, thank you cards, call backs and appointment reminders."

"There are many things. No benefits. I was expected to bring in new business and was not given the tools to take care of all the new business I brought in. I had to travel...with my own car and was given no car allowance. I had to make day trips with no overnight stays so it did not give me the opportunity to get very far."

Sales Representative at 2 Brothers Communications
in Elko, NV

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"What I mostly enjoyed about this job though was reaching our monthly sales goals"

"If you want to sell cellular devices, you should try to get hired by a corporate wireless provider. Like Verizon, they look out for you."

What don't you like about working at 2 Brothers Communications?

"The commission was horrible, even with meeting all sales requirements we made maybe 2,000 a month. Which I think is extremely poor for a cellular device retailer that sells cellular devices that cost up to 1,000 dollars."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Our store manager was fine, but the district and corporate management only looked out for their self, which isn't right, they would fire people for no reason at all, just so it would suit them, one person they waited till the end of the month to fire so he could make a lot of sales and not have to give him the commission."
