Nordstrom Employer Reviews

Hard works pays off, especially when the more you sell, the more you earn. It's almost as if you have your own business.

I handled investigations of retail crime through the use of Closed-Circuit Television, as well as undercover shopping.

Nordstrom is a very cut throat environment. Its every man for himself. Its a tough place when the others in the store want to see you fail instead of helping you succeed. I learned to be tough here. Management has horrible communication skills and poor work ethic.

Fast paced environment, Customer comes first company,
Some Managers really helped employees reach full potential.
Some co-workers are team players.
The hardest part of working for Nordstroms was scheduling
The most enjoyable part of working for Nordstrom was its energy level

If you love sales, this would be a great place for you to work.

Nordstrom is a great company to work for. I worked for 4 years at the Bellevue, WA location and love the employees I worked with. Regardless of department we all worked very well together and I had a sense that the company, as big as it is, cared about each employee and their opportunity to grow in the company. I handled our paging and phone systems, – more... bringing a 'voice' to the store. The fun challenge of using my voice to create a calm and informative tone to the store was very important. – less

Provided flexible scheduling. Nordstrom takes care of their employees in all aspects. A fun environment where technology was implemented into interactions with customers.

The best part of working here is the customer interaction, which is simply fun.
I learned so much by interacting with customers, and how to effectively sell merchandise.
The most difficult part of the job was standing for long stretches of time.

Help my clients find exactly what they need. Set up future appointments and keep in touch with old.
Always learning new things and meeting great clients.
Minimal supervision. Manager is very encouraging and always finding new and fun ways to challenge me.
My co-workers are easy going and great help and support.

since they start everyone as a sales associate in this company, it becomes very frustrating to make it to the position you're opting for - simply because not everyone makes a good sales person and that's why not everyone is a sales person and in order for you to move up to ANY department other than sales you have to make high sales.

I learned a lot about how to run a successful business and take the best care of customers. The worst part about the job is that its hard to find time for family and friends that do not work in a retail environment.

I learned how a company builds a store from the ground up. It was a great experience and I loved my co workers.

a typical day for me at work is being busy at all times, this company is filled with a variety of open opportunity, I've learned so much about Mechanical Engineering and how to be very detail with the smallest things that the eye can't see, management isn't very good and very unstable, my co-workers are great team players. The hardest part of this position – more... is making sure that as an assistant manager your team complied with their duties on the daily basis the best part of this position is that there was never a routine. – less

This job requires you to multi-task regularly. It is very fast paced and you must do things quickly and efficiently or you will fall behind. I learned to be task oriented and also provide exceptional customer service to customers. I have enhanced my ability to be people oriented and also work as a team to get the job done.

management was great
co workers were very helpful
hardest part of the job was leaving

Nordstrom was always rewarding. Management was always helpful and courteous. Their was nothing hard about working at Nordstrom. The only reason I left Nordstrom was because of the bad economy in the mid 90's.

The ability to minimize the store for each customer in order to maximize sales is a huge part of perfecting my craft. I am responsible for maintaining sales goals through scheduled personalized appointments. Taking proper notation making sure the customer's needs are met are key. Keeping up with current trends is vital as well. My favorite part of my – more... job is making sure my clients are happy with the products they leave with. – less

The sales floor was primarily based on customer service you would greet the customer find out a little about them and take them into the fitting room and find the best merchandise for their life style.
