Pros

I had a great experience as an Assistant, mainly because of my manager who was amazing. There are also some great people there & fun activities at the office, and the Sarasota/ Bradenton area is beautiful.

Cons

In order to fit into the culture, you need to be a yes person. They say they want you to speak up, but you will find out it's only to say something positive. If you have an issue with anything that's going on, keep it to yourself or you will be labeled as a nuisance. They will shoot down your ideas in meetings and then use them later, taking credit of course. They pay extremely low for the national averages and they give around 2% pay raises if that. There are some good people there, but there are also some ridiculously nasty people that I am not sure how they have a job.

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
