Additionally, eligible employees may receive performance-based bonuses and other incentives.

At Nordstrom, the commitment to employees extends beyond the workplace through extensive resources and support programs such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). This makes the restaurant server position not only a job but also a stepping stone towards a rewarding career in hospitality within a prestigious retail establishment. Nordstrom values inclusivity, ensuring that applicants from diverse backgrounds and circumstances, including those with disabilities or criminal histories, are given fair consideration in compliance with relevant legal standards and local ordinances.
