Pros

Have met a lot of great people.

Cons

Lack of communication seems like a constant. Associate cut backs add to work just not getting done in a timely manner. Store management needs a good overhaul!

Pros

A paycheck, saying that you were employed.

Cons

Ever since private equity bought them out back in 2015, the company has truly gone downhill. Everything from lack of communication throughout the company, to not taking care of employees with personal leaves of absence, it has been nothing but misery at Belk. Many stores have lost, on average, at least 2 to 3 million in sales, and thus less managers yet the same expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if Belk doesn't exist within the next year due to 1.1 billion in debt coming due in 2020. Also, schedules change on a whim so forget trying to book doctor's appointments, working 2nd or 3rd jobs or having a life. They expect you to be there period without any accommodation.

Pros

The associates are awesome.

Cons

Since the Belk family sold out the company has went downhill. No more fulltime jobs for sales associates leads to no one caring about the stores.
