RecommendsI worked at Nordstrom part-time
Pros
Beautiful environment, prestigious brand, discounts. For a part-time job, it's great.
Cons
Because of Nordstrom's liberal return policies, retail salespeople are in a bad position when a customer decides to return merchandise. Unfortunately, when customers take advantage of the policy the salesperson loses income.
This is understandable but not equitable.Nordstrom 2018-04-19 10:43 PDT![Nordstrom Logo]()

Pros
Everyone there seems to really love what they do. They’re passionate about their work, and they seem to always stay current.
Cons
Working as a part time sales associate can be difficult. Some of the more seasoned salespeople can be a little bit protective of new business.
