Pros

my first manager was fine. some co-workers okay. loyal customers that you build relationships with very pleasant.

Cons

ALL upper management does not care about you and they WILL throw you under the bus everytime they need to make themselves look like SAINTS in front of THEIR BOSSES. especially the district managers and regionals. There is not anything set in stone at this company, you will be tossed around and confused for atleast the first 3 yrs of employment. Hours are horrible, there is no drug testing so you have to deal with people who are using I experienced this many many many times through out my employment. no room for advancement because the company is downsizing the staff, but expanding the number of stores. the customers always complain about the out-dated policies and obsolete ways of running a business.serious upgrades needed to satisfy customers and raise productivity levels for the staff without making them slave. if you work for bealls outlet as an associate, super, or manager you will have every job title under the sun at the store, maintance, register, cleaning, markdowns, your own department, unloading trucks, etc etc etc the stores employees are put through too much no one is designated to a couple of specific task everyone does everything but you only get paid for the job you applied for not all the other jobs you end up doing.

Pros

Outlet means you never know what you are going to get, which can be exciting and challenging. Management (in my store and district) are supportive and responsive- easy to talk to and work with. Job requirements are clear and there are lots of reference books and guidelines to follow if needed. Overall a fun place and as enjoyable a work experience as retail can be.

Cons

Supervisor pay is barely more than minimum wage. no room for advancement at the retail store level. Only 1 manager per store- the rest are only "supervisors" who are expected to run the store and act as management when the manager is not present. Alot of responsibility with very little compensation. Supervisors are expected to be dedicated to Burkes and able to work any shift on any day, yet they are only offered part time and hours fluncuate severely in order to make payroll so management can earn a bonus. Employees have to meet a credit card goal in order for management to receive a bonus. Employees are expected to enroll customers in OneCard (savings and discount program) and meet goals in order for management to recieve bonuses. Failure to do so can result in progressive counseling (write-ups). The store manager, DM, etc all receive bonuses based on the goals the store employees are expected to meet. The store manager does work hard too, but there is that incentive of a bonus dangling in front of them, so the hard work pays off in the end. What do the cashiers and supervisors get for making goals? A $5.00 gift card. :/ The employee discount is only 20%, yet any customer is elegible for a 15% discount when they are enrolled in the OneCard discount program, plus these customers receive points for dollars spent, which results in a $5.00 discount. Employees are not elegible for this program UNLESS they sign up for the credit card- then they can recieve the points, but not the extra discount. So basically employees can only save 5% more than any customer can.
