Pros

Nordstrom IT has a great culture, truly taking care of its customers and employees. The empathy for the customers and employees with the combination of the passion for technology drove great innovations for the past several years.

Cons

When sales became weaker, Nordstrom has gone through re-orgs and brought new leadership that does not seem to care about the existing culture that made Nordstrom great. Trust has been violated, and people don't feel the safety and the driving force behind innovations anymore. With the current negative force, there are not a lot of positive things that can retain current employees or attract new talents.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
