Pros
Forming friendships with your co workers
Cons
Everything was terrible. I worked for this miserable company for 4 years full time. I finally found enough self respect and quit . If you are full time, your wage will be something you can live off of, but there will be no point because you'll get the life sucked out of you every shift. Management will remind you that nothing is ever good enough . You will have about 4 different goals hanging over your head (sales, credit, presale and item locator) and are expected to meet all of them or you could be written up. Get enough write ups for not making goals and you will be fired. Mind you, all of this is being done while you are making a competitive hourly rate that is nothing special, and having no support from management. This company is cheap and only cares about the bottom line. Customer service means nothing to them. Management may whine about their poor service scores, but if corporate cares, they would not schedule one person per department with no coverage, or just leave entire departments abandoned all together. Customers hated never being able to find help, and having the newest promotion/credit card pushed on them. Some of my co workers begged customers to do item orders or credit cards , admitting that they could lose their job without the customer's help. A sad, sad way of trying to make a stupid goal for a company that doesn't care about you. There is little to no room for advancement. You will not want to advance. You will want to leave as soon as possible. Belk didn't used to be this way. They used to be good to their employees and customers. I don't recognize this company now.
