As a senior in high school I applied for this job having no previous experience working. So when landing a job at a professional company, naturally I was extremely enthusiastic. With everything being so new, I took in all the experiences I could in order to learn & grow. My main priority being that I provide the best customer service & genuinely be interested in helping customers with their needs. That quickly changed due to the pressures you feel from management on needing to sell and maintain certain numbers. It became quite apparent that numbers meant more than customer service to many of my co-workers, which created a pretty toxic work environment. Since I was still in school, I worked part-time & appreciated the emphasis that the company makes on the importance of education. But in general, the work/life balance is lacking quite a bit, which is something I would like to see change in the future. I also feel that for the amount of work you put into sales, you should be payed more.
Nordstrom is a great company to work for! There are 401k, dental, vision, and health care benefits! In addition, Nordstrom grants employees the opportunity to gain business, marketing, and customer experience skillsets. The work environment all depends on your management team. In my personal experience, I had a wonderful and supportive team in BP clothing and Women Shoes!
I have worked at both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. There are pros and cons to both, but overall I have been satisfied with my time working for Nordstrom, Inc.! The 20% employee discount goes a long way on larger purchases, and we do get perks from the company, such as extra discounts during the holiday time. Retail is tough, but I feel that Nordstrom takes good care of it’s employees through these benefits and more! The 401k match is great too. Good management depends on the store, some managers are only in it for selfish reasons but the majority want to help you and see you succeed. Most of the managers I’ve had in the 3 years I’ve been with the company are flexible with my academic (I’m currently a college student) and social life because they understand work/life balance. Customers are customers, you will encounter the good and the bad. The culture here is mostly positive and I would recommend working here for the life experience.
