Business outlook
Pros
Great commission scale, stellar benefits, interesting environment. I worked in the women's shoes department during my college years, during the yearly sales I would come home with $2,000 for 2 weeks work for a college student. They have a great reputation, and their customer service history looks great on your resume. High percentage of female in management and very diverse workforce. A handful of salespeople made over $100,000 for the year.
Cons
Nordstrom's lax return policy will reduce your commission. Many hours due to retail. Extremely slow after holidays, beware of layoffs after the busy season.
