Pros

You get 2 years of experience in 1, but that's the hours. This is great place to work if you have no concept of life.

Cons

1. You can go other places, but you need to have initiative. You must be self-taught, dedicated to you career and willing to learn. Bealls will not invest in you, so you need to do it yourself. 2. I've witnessed more infighting amongst DVPs than any other job, it embarrasses me. 3. Debilitating friction between peers is encouraged at the corporate office. 4. Bealls is not dedicated to Life/Work balance. It is impossible to get time off whether it is sick or vacation. 5. Management is so interested in their vision they fail to heed the warnings of projects gone awry. 6. Contributions to 401K are limited (25.00-30.00 total in 7 years) 7. Your success depends on the hallway you work, its a publicity competition, stay close to you department head, not your divisional head.

Pros

he pros of working at Bealls are the opportunity to grow in customer service, leadership, merchandising, and store operations. It is a good place to build communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and retail management experience while working in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

Some of the cons are that company policies and procedures change frequently, which can make it challenging for employees to keep up with expectations. The company also appears to be shifting toward a model similar to TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls, but without always providing the same level of training, staffing, or pay structure. Another concern is the lack of consistent pay raises, even when employees take on additional responsibilities
