What it's REALLY like to work at Nordstrom... 

I just called in for an interview for Nordstrom. Hopefully ill get the job. This video was very helpful!

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

You sounds really lovely and nice. I’m going there tomorrow for an interview and I’m terrified. Hate interviews. Would love to get the job and enjoy the discount because I’m always shopping there.

Designer handbags is a 9% commission rate!

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

Just got the job they called today! Im gonna be working in the shoes area. Thank you for making this video! 💕

I will never want to work on the sales floor! I will work in the back office

You're beautiful, smart, and down to earth. I really enjoyed your video and I live in Seattle and visit downtown location frequently.

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.

I worked for Nordstrom 2 years. Made life long friends and loved it, but I am not good at sales so it wasn’t for me.

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

I have an in person interview tomorrow in the shoe department in seattle! Any tips on the interview?

So I’m 17 and I wanna work as a cashier but I have no work experience is it a good place for my first job

I'm working in kids department rn and I'm quiting soon! The customers are great but the management is not it!

This video was very helpful ! I survived the phone interview today with them for retail sales men’s apparel Towson Maryland location . I’ve never worked commission sales before but I am Super passionate about fashion and I feel up to it but of course I still have some doubt. Also what is there tatto policy if anybody knows??

I got a phone interview next week and I’m ready to nail those interview questions.

Lol this is crazy because I have an interview same department @ the downtown Seattle location!

My brain is going to explode, this is so much lmao

I applied for stocking at Nordstrom what do you as stocking in Nordstrom?

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.

I really feel you! I was a barista and started to work in Bloomingdales, like I said I feel you!!!!!

I work at Nordstrom, I’ve been there for 5 months, I like it a lot, easy job and it’s a great pay, I work service experience and I like it, I get to solve all the store problems

Wow. A lot of the math in this video was incorrect. No wonder.

Hi I just got hired at the local Nordstrom’s only for seasonal sales. I am nervous because I am set to work at the men’s wear dept. I won’t do this job permanently. Thankyou for sharing your pros and cons of your time working at your Nordstrom’s. I am a regular customer I hope I pass the commission based sales. I will do my best. I am not too young a little over 50. Goodluck to you 👍

This video was very helpful ❤️ and you so beautiful 😍. I'm gonna be working at Nordstrom Rack soon I'm so excited!

Collectors clothing gets 9% and so does luxury/designer handbags. Not 3%. But it still kind of evens out because the returns are much more brutal.

I’m loss prevention at Nordstrom and I love it

Ugh. Returns. It was so annoying, year after year you'd see people walking in the door with Anniversary bags during holiday to dump off their summer returns to buy for the holidays, and then during Anniversary you'd see holiday bags coming into the store to dump off their holiday returns to make room on their credit cards to shop Anniversary. It was a vicious cycle. So glad to not have to deal with any of that any more.

Do you get the disvounts on Chanel purses during the ployee discounts?

I worked for Nordstrom in Seattle too, Stores 3 & 5 :)

Sis, you were there for like 10 mins 🤣

so if you shop for yourself in shoes department, that doesn't count as your sales... I will be working in accessories, not sure how that goes tho...good thing is I live 20 mins away! excited :)

Wait so do u make an hourly rate plus commission? And would u get fired if u don’t make ur target? Just applied to beauty sales men’s fragrance

You’re a sweetheart and very smart young lady. You’ll do well with a anything you do.

I understand now!? I loved working at Nordstrom! 1997

do you know how much the personal stylist make?

Can some quit before “Returns” seasons? Making it so a hire who worked the year end holiday season and keeping all that commission.

Do you have any sales experience before the interview?

Could you use cash to use your discount? Very informative video!

Do you know what the pay is like for women trends?

thank you

You beautiful I like your hair!!

I love your hair!

Retail really stretches your skills as a person. There are very few jobs avail if you want to get ahead in the company what will require that you only want to stay at the job for 8 hours. Get over it. That IS how retail is. If you want that, get a government job where you have to deal with people who are in the same rut as you are in. A rut is a casket with two open ends. You work you for a company that offers security or opportunity. All the best in your chosen career path.

I love your braids 💕💕

I love your braids 💕

I have an interview at the mac counter there.

Great Video! Very informative!

Great,informative vlog!!!

You can stay at my place if you ever in Portland Oregon again. Me love you long time

Nordstrom sells real stuff right?

what was work attire like?

30% ??? It’s 20%

I work a Nordstrom now in the lingerie department

Does the employee discount work on luxury items such as designer handbags and accessories? Thanks!

So its hourly and commission based?

I worked for Bullocks in the summer of 1988. I loved it. Bullocks was an awesome store. The merchandise was high end and the best quality.

kid shoes here!!! 🥳 love nordstrom

“You make what you sell” 👏
