Pros

when bob goodfriend owned the company, it was profitable and a great place to work. when the kmart gurus took over, within 3 years, the company folded

Cons

the last 3 years of the company's existence was a roller coaster ride. they treated the dm's like crap, so in turn, the managers got the bullets. what had been built up by goodfriend for 50 years got shot to crap in 3 short years.

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
