Pros

Somewhat of a relaxed environment, a last resort job if Mcdonalds doesn't want to hire you.

Cons

The way departments are run is really poor, especially in the Live Observation Control Center or LOCC. They don't see their employees as assets, but as expendable and they will remind you of that constantly. The management doesn't care about personal/work schedule balance. As long as the management have it in their lives, the rest of the employees are made to sacrifice personal time. This accounts for the high turn over as well as for many departments in this company. Favoritism is found in every workplace and it's hard to escape it. However, It's over the top, working for this company, especially in the Loss Prevention depts. If you are friends with the right person. You get the dream schedule and hardly ever have to worry about working hours that you don't want to work. This is specifically true for the Live Observation Control Center or LOCC.

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
