Pros

Close to home. Flexible hours

Cons

If you are a hard worker and follow the rules, it's all lost at this company. They talk to you like garbage. You are paid a little above min. wage and are running your whole shift. Or having to ask every single customer their 1) zip code 2)email address 3)if they would like to open up a charge card. People get pissed asking them question after question after waiting in line because it's either short staffed or the other people you hire barely speak English or are so lazy they don't want to bother. AND you have to ask if they are sure and ask BEFORE they get their total! And so the customers takes it out on you. Never mind that they are getting 50% off and $10 off of $25 and whatever else. And we are not allowed to give everyone the coupons. THEY have to stand there for 20 mins and look it up on their phone. And Bealls Bucks...no worry if you want to use them before or after the USE ON dates, the managers will let you get $70. worth of stuff for NOTHING! Meanwhile I'm humping my butt and get paid crap. Come in to the store at 8pm on and Tuesday night ( senior day) and look at the piles of clothes they leave on the floor in the dressing rooms. And the shambles that are the racks. Because they are under staffed and managers don't help, it could take a week to get the stuff back on the racks. My hours are less and less but they keep hiring. Zero opportunity to move up or make more $.

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
