Pros
Great clothes, good work experience. Definitely lots of opportunity to move up, I love that they promote from within. I think that's awesome and there is so much opportunity to move around within the store.
Cons
If you don't sell YOU WILL BE FIRED. I worked part time and had the worst possible shifts, this was not ultimately considered after giving me a two week warning before termination. They expect you to do a lot within a shift, and expect a lot in general. They fail to recognize the need for traffic in order to make sale, and the need for not only good sales people but good workers in general, the kind who clean and care about their job. If you work at Nordstrom you are a number. Not a person. The turnover of employees has been next level, because everyone keeps leaving or getting fired.
