RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Nordstrom full-time
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.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Nordstrom full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good working environment, good pay. It's a part salary and part commission job, more sales you can make within a pay period, more pay for you at the end of the pay period.
Cons
Competition amongst colleagues : since everyone wants to make good sales to get good pay, some of your coworkers may not be too friendly while on the sales floor
