Pros

The people were great they were like family.

Cons

Management was unexperienced and never helped anyone they talked on the floor all day long and complain about everything. The Store Manager pretends to be on top of his game. He just walks through the store like lightning pretending to be busy. He only cares about looking good to his boss and will throw you under the bus even if it is his fault---he's an absolute snake in the grass. The store manager and his petty, disrespectful boss treat the other managers like crap even making people cry at times. No one wants to work there but people who've been there for many years. They are very unprofessional here. The Store Manager and his boss were overheard talking about everyone. The store manager even discusses information with other managers that don't work for Belk...... scandals all over this place. The store manager would also pretends to be notable but the truth is he works through others and take the credit behind their backs. We've lost some good people because of the Store Manager's lack of experience and this hurts everyone including the management team.

Pros

Discount. Double Discount days are good,.

Cons

Let's see. STMs get upset when asked a question and several were snooty which is crazy as most of them have NO education yet act like they are ALL that. They were the primary reason I left. Half the time store manager and STMs don't even speak unless they "need" something from you.

Pros

Good colleagues the majority of which care about what they do and know more than the managers at times. But then in fairness to the managers when impossible demands are put on you with no consideration of the opposing factors you soon learn best not to care and just look for a better situation.

Cons

The pay. The hours. The management.
