RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Nordstrom full-time
Pros
It's a great environment to work in. The people there make it worth it.
Cons
The returns against commission. The new wage scale in Seattle make it so that McDonald's has the same pay. Benefits are not great. Customers can be extremely rude. Will overwork you.
Advice to Management
Maybe if your pay was better for support you wouldn't lose good employees to other employers in the area.

Pros
The culture and support from upper management is constant and very helpful.
Focuses on developing and promoting talent from within the company and is willing to put the time and effort into developing leaders
Ability to give yourself bonuses on top of salary by selling and gaining commission
Face to face customer serviceCons
Lots of overtime and should be paid more for the responsibilities associated with the position. Each department is running its own business.

Pros
Opportunity to make a lot of money if you're dedicated. Perfect job to have if you're in college. Very fun atmosphere.
Cons
long hours, overstaffing, often occurs, 100% commission based for majority of the departments without an hourly pay (which is a struggle during the slow seasons). Also, every time an item is returned, they take it out of your paycheck (even if the item is worn)
Advice to Management
don't be so lenient towards returns.
