Pros

The associates in the store work very hard and try to give the best customer service. Benefits are good, and HR is helpful. The company works with your schedule and tries to make it a family environment. Great customers.

Cons

Management in the store only cares about certain employees. If you do not get Belk credit, you are not valued. Rude managers are allowed to treat employees however they want even through intimidation and bullying. Store management does nothing about it. It is terrible to see good employees being treated badly. Low pay and high expectations.

Pros

The discount is the only reason to work at Belk. Even that is not worth it. They pay so little I barely even got to take advantage of it.

Cons

They make you work like a slave and you get no recognition for it. They base your pay off of how much you sell per hour, but they expect you to: get 2 credit apps per week, reorganize the floor every other day, process stock, inventory, dust, vacuum, set the sale, process markdown, and process damages just to name a few!! They never inform you of new information (sale sets, coupons, etc) but get mad when you didn't know. The people who don't do what is asked of them get paid more. The people who stalk the customers and lie to the customers get paid more than those who are working their butts off. I was the only one in my department who got things done, such as markdowns, sale set, stock, yes I got paid a measly 7.50 an hour. After quitting, I found out that the other associates who just stood around doing nothing got paid 3 and 4 dollars more than me!!!!! I worked there for 3 years and got one measly raise. I never experienced a pay cut but a lot of my former co workers did. RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!
