Nordstrom Employer Reviews

learning something new and keeping up with the new trend . Colors is fascinating and showing customers the ways of matching things together is a fulfillment by itself . Working with a team that has one goal and on the same page together minimizes mistakes and turn to an at most profit to every one. It gets hard when more than one customer and I had – more...  to give each of them a complete attention and respect but makes enjoyable when the customers decide to wait for me till I am done with each customer. – less

love working and shopping at Nordsrtoms.Developing team and Delivering great results.

There is always something to do. My co-workers were energentic and were a key part of completing daily tasks. The hardest part of the job is not being able to complete the job effectively all the time by yourself. The most enjoyablee part of the job was the constant interaction with customers.

Before I accepted this job i was not informed that there are not permanent schedules. As having previous employment in call centers I'm used to shift bids about every quarter or so, but with this job you could close one night and open the next morning. In the hiring process they never mentioned & didnt speak about it until about one month into training. – more...  So at the point you find out about it, you've already quit your original job & are basically stuck. The opportunities got advancement are scarce. I met a few people who have been there for 10 years & denied to move up. Good luck. – less

Typical Day: Day-to-day workflow and task allotment was reasonable, clear, and fulfilling.

Management: As with any larger company, management is a mixed back and greatly depends on the individual. One huge opportunity for improvement, however, is the seemingly nonexistent supervision of management style/effectiveness/ability. As long as profit/cost – more...  margins are maintained, little to no emphasis is placed on assessing team satisfaction or a managers' performance in regards to practical people-related skill sets.

Coworkers: Again, quite a mixed bag. The general predisposition towards both professionalism and helpfulness, however, lends itself towards a pleasant team makeup. – less

Busy day usually at lunch time in Nordstrom Cafe. Through observation as well as proper training I learned many techniques dealing with safety, prioritizing and cleanliness. Co-workers are great and very friendly! Hardest part of the job was learning the touch screen P.O.S. system when I began training. I definitely enjoyed meeting the new people but – more...  mostly getting to know the regular customers and other Nordstrom employees who ultimately became my clientele. – less

Probably the most fun I've ever had at any job. I was very well trained. This job is very competitive. You can really make a lot of money while working here. They only promote from within. That is a great way for your company to run more smoothly.

A typical day includes interacting with customers, sizing and colorizing clothes. It also included watching the fitting room and putting away stock. I learned that I love to interact with other people. Management was fantastic, very organized and understanding of the fact that we have lives outside of the workplace. My co workers were fantastic, and – more...  I enjoyed working with them everyday. The hardest part was during the holidays when they stores were so packed you could barely move around to get your work done. The most enjoyable part of the job is being around clothes, shoes and accessories. – less

Working for Nordstrom was a wonderful learning and working experience.

The pay is awesome. Working there sucks. Management doesn't care about you at all. They always mess up your hours. Much more is expected of you than you get paid for. Good enough for money though.
