Belk reviews

too many tasks for the associate, not enough recognition for good work, too much pressure for opening up Belk credit cards

This position has many job duties, which include providing customer service, running the register, maintaining the department, putting out and merchandising new merchandise, promoting national events, semi-annual inventories, and other tasks as they arise. Unfortunately, there is seldom enough employees to handle these tasks. Many times, the work load can become overwhelming. You have to learn to balance customer service along with projects that you are completing. Also, many employees will waste time while a few carry out the majority of tasks. Evaluations also include customer service satisfaction which is based on the store as a whole. As such, employees that work hard and consistently receive great customer service ratings receive the same score as someone who simply does as little as possible. Opportunities for advancement are limited and most often are time consuming and difficult to pursue. Training is limited and barely prepares employees for the job.
