    I worked at Nordstrom for several years on and off. You did a great job explaining the commission vs returns

    I’m looking into getting a job at Nordstrom and I felt much better to know that you worked in the Seattle location! (I live near Seattle and my mom works in downtown) This video helped a lot, loved how honest you were 💖

    I’m I love the video!! I used to work at Nordstrom too, it was great for me and I learnt so much even outside of selling, like people skills and to be more extroverted! X

    I had no idea Seattle was like this(I do imagine its challenging in kids wear though)!! I heard it was easy to make money up there (I'm down in Tacoma), so this is surprising! I also would love to work in the Seattle store someday and experience it for myself!

    I work at Nordstrom in lingerie in Florida and hourly is $13 but I’ve never made my hourly it’s always way more and I’m not even that great at selling but if you’re good you have so much potential. I love it so far. It is a competitive environment so you just have to be tough and not take shit from anyone like you said, not be scared to call people out if they are stealing your sales etc. When I first worked here I literally cried because I’m used to the restaurant industry where we are all a family and help each other out but here no one will do anything for you. Now that I’m used to it I love it and I didn’t come here to make friends anyways

    My friend works at a Nordstrom in the greater Seattle area, they have VERY low inventory!!! Especially in her department. How can you sell what you don’t have? Yes, she always offers to help customers locate what they need online, but most people are looking for something at that moment to buy. In addition, they are REALLY pressuring the associates to make so many “connections” a day. This is getting an individual to sign up to use their online app, or services. She can put together “style boards” for customers and send them to them. The biggest problem with that is that most people are reluctant to give out their personal information, and there is just not enough foot traffic to even get many “connections”. She has good days (mostly during the holidays), but now that they are over, she is basically working for 15.00 an hour. I believe the hiring wage at McDonalds is better than that. Nordstrom needs to pick up their game a bit. Last point I would make is location, location, location! An employee at Bellevue Square will have a much better chance at hitting their commission goals than an employee at Tacoma Mall. The larger stores carry bigger inventory and brands that are not carried at the smaller stores. Yet the pay seems to be the same.

    that's crazy i've been working the lingerie department for the last couple months but its been such a bad experience. im only here for the money which is really good at my location(LA). most days i also wish i was back at my old job making coffee and talking to people who didn't wish i didn't show up to work.
