Pros

Besides a paycheck and insurance, there really was nothing to keep me with this company.

Cons

Area (mid-level) managers were left to run the store in the absence of our store manager. She constantly came in late, left early - if she showed up at all. And, when we got a bad store review she wrote all of her mid-level managers up for not running the store right. WHAT???? Insanity. We (mid-level managers) had put up with a lot, but this just totally pushed us over the edge. I am absolutely disgusted with what we were put through. This company is totally unethical and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. I feel sorry for the poor hourly people that work there. Morale is awful in the store. When I tried to bring up these issues to our corporate human resources office, I was interviewed by our regional operations manager at our store and was told "put my big girl britches on" and basically deal with it. I have never been around such unprofessional people in my entire 15+ years in retail management.

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
