100% commission at Nordstrom
Nordstrom IS a great retailer and a great place to work. My wife has worked there for over ten years and has done extremely well for herself — and she loves her job. Let's just say that I know more about the company and its culture than someone who hasn't walked into one in the past 15 years!— March 26, 2013 11:31 a.m.
100% commission at Nordstrom
Welcome to the world of retail. Sales + Retail + Corporate Environment = Not For Everyone. I agree with vjchan's statement that "You tend to get what you put out there." At the end of the day it's a job and no job is perfect. I'm sure Jessica was a great employee and did her best while she worked at Nordstrom however, it's obvious sales isn't her strongpoint and she's probably better off doing something she's passionate about which appears to be writing (you can't deny that she's good at it). Nordstrom is absolutely at the pinnacle in the retail industry. Other retail companies can only dream of having the brand and prestige that Nordstrom has — even if they would never admit it. At the very least they want to have the same level of customer service that Nordstrom offers its customers. No one can argue that. I challenge you to find another retail company that has employees (especially sales people) that have been with them for 20+ years. Walk into any Nordstrom and I can guarantee you'll find at least a handful. That says a lot about the company. Jessica, regardless of what you say about Nordstrom the real issue here was your inability to succeed in a retail sales environment. It's irresponsible for you to blame the company on your own shortcomings since it erodes your own credibility. And you better hope your next employer doesn't see this article because if I was interviewing you, I would look the other way. One last thought: something tells me that even if they had a more stringent return policy you still would have never made it.— March 14, 2013 12:08 p.m.
