      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Certain departments allow for nice raises. Flexible scheduling, especially if you are in school. Fun environment, for the most part (certain times of year are stressful)

      Cons

      Management (store manager) was not great. Too much drama between employees. Preference shown to certain employees. You can make great money if you are in a good department, no matter if you are a great or terrible employee. Those in less busy departments get screwed over, even if they are very hard workers. You have to suck up to get anywhere around here.

      Belk is fine . . . for the hard-core salesperson.

      Pros

      If you work in cosmetics you have the ability to adjust your own pay. Only those working in cosmetics earn commission on sales. The hourly pay is probably about average. Where you have the opportunity to increase your pay is by increasing your sales. Therefore, if you are a strong salesperson, you should have no trouble building your income. For all sales floor employees, sales goals are asigned to your given pay rate. By meeting the sales per hour goal you maintain the same rate. To increase your rate of pay you must exceed the sales per hour goal, meeting the sales per hour goal of a higher rate.

      Cons

      The downside of the sales per hour goals is that should you not meet your goal you will receive a decrease in pay, matching the sales per hour you actually meet. Probably the most frustrating goal required is the charge goal. All sales floor employees are required to open new charge accounts. The goal is to open one new account for every twenty hours worked. Customers have many valid reasons to avoid opening new credit accounts. It is a personal decision that I have to respect. If an employee does not open the required number of charge acounts they may get a verbal and / or written warning, resulting up to and including termination.
