Terrible place to advance or be acknowledged.

Pros

discount, the associates I was able to hire on my own.

Cons

Very political. Upper management and Regional VPs don't care about anything but Instant Credits. If they don't like you, you're out of luck. If you're a terrible manager but they like you, then you will get ahead. No "thank you" EVER. As an ASM I had to cut associates pay who were dependable and would actually work, but gave raises to those that had terrible attendance(who we couldn't fire even though they have been written up over 10 times) and stood at the register. Hard workers were taken advantage of.

Pros

No pros with this company! Health insurance is a benefit, not a pro

Cons

Demanding management does not acknowledge hard workers, too much focus on Belk credit cards in a recession, unreasonable and impersonal management, associates can not focus on sales due to merchandising and replenishing, hours are unpredictable and constantly cut, with low hourly pay, excessive turnover

Pros

Employee discount is one of the best.

Cons

Not enough hours given to part timers overall. How do they find the people they train as managers? Some can not even work the register basics!
