Pros
Great customers, pleasant environment, supportive coworkers. good opportunities to be promoted if you are able to relocate and you are young.
Cons
Age discrimination in indeed taking its toll on Nordstrom. They are very open about the fact they want to cater to the YC (young customer) and are eliminating departments and merchandise that will appeal to a more mature customer. Unfortunately this philosophy is carrying over to its employees as well. Many, mature, long time, well experienced employees are being let go from upper management and now even down to the store levels, or they are being treated so badly that they choose to leave on their own. It is very sad because the company is losing the employees who have been loyal, dependable, and hard working and unfortunately, the customers who have built relationships with these employees through the years are now shopping elsewhere. If you are in your twenties Nordstrom could still be a good career choice, however, if you are over 40 and looking for a career, choose a position elsewhere.
