Unrealstic Sales Goals
Stylist (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 18 November 2018
The ratio of Traffic in the store versus the amount of money that one should make in one day is not realistic even though the department manager strongly enforces the goal.
Pros
Opportunity for advancement
Cons
High Expectations
Nordstrom
Salesperson (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 15 November 2018
Long hours on your feet. Management doesn't want to hire summer students anymore. Daily sales targets are unachievable on an ongoing basis.
They'll hire you for a predetermined length of time and then let you go weeks before your end date.

Horrible work environment
Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 14 November 2018
Managers here(especially ones brought from the US) bully you out if they don't like the way you look/talk/work. Instead of coaching you like a good manager, they make your life horrible until you quit. The turnover is very high because of this, and most of the time now, they just fire you. Lots of backstabbing and drama as well. Stay away.
Good pay no life
Visual Merchandiser (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 8 November 2018
good pay.
Watch The Devil Wears Prada to get an idea of the people you'll be working with.
No work/ life balance
lower level staff are great, management is pretentious, HR does their due diligence.

great place to work
SALESPERSON (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 6 November 2018
Better than any other retailer I've worked for. Company really takes care of you and they offer a lot of opportunities to grow from within and to further your knowledge about fashion and the company itself.
Worst job
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 30 October 2018
worst job ever... I don't recommend working here as they bully you. The manager of the store was terrible and hated everyone and thats it. None of my co workers lasted
Pros
nothing
Cons
everything
Great group of employees poor management
SE Specialist (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 25 October 2018
Nordstrom values its customers and consistently goes above and beyonf for them unfortunately doesn't with regard to employees. The Beauty department is the overall best place to be.The best management,the best team overall best department to be in,build and grow with.
Not recommended
Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 18 October 2018
I worked at the Nordstrom eaton centre location from its opening day in august of 2016 until January 2017. The only positives about this company is great co workers and good work/life balance aside from that nothing. The department I worked for had very little traffic most days thus difficult to hit daily sales targets, also very little assistance from management aside from threatening to fire you for not hitting targets.
Pros
good co workers
Cons
little pay for amount of work, bad management, bad discount.
Good Place to work
LOGISTICS MANAGER (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 18 October 2018
Many benefits
work life balance very flexible
very diverse, you will feel at home
hardest part about the job would be all of the different people you have to interact with on a daily basis, gets mentally draining
as well as the many different department heads.
Loved having my own department and being able to do things my way,

Great Core Values

Nordstrom has a great inclusive and diverse workplace. They support minorities and participate in their community. They provide great tools to create an excellent customer service experience.
Productive workplace
Supply Chain Distribution Center Analyst (Current Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 1 October 2018
Employer is new to Canada and there are still some learning curves with regards to how business is run in Canada.
Upper Management is somewhat difficult to deal with and they do not include Canadian employees in decision making processes.

store manager is rude
Store Cleaner (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 14 September 2018
Most managers are rude and treat you like a number. They let their job title get to their heads. i strongly believe that Nordstrom is a good company but they need to train their managers peoples skills.
fun place if you're into fashion and making commission
Service experience Specialist (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 12 September 2018
in selling departments long hours of standing is the worst part but if you're busy selling during those time you're basically writing your own paycheck based off of the amount that you sold that day.
in service you're busy taking phone calls resolving issues with clients face to face, teaching and troubleshooting with employees. multitasking to say the least.
