Pros

20% discount at the stores.

Cons

Upper Management is an entrenched old-school "clan". If you have not been here for 20 years, you have NO CHANCE of getting promoted. So many good people have left due to "old boy" network that does not give 'outsiders' any opportunities. It is a very 'clique-driven' place...lots of corporate politics in every decision. They DO NOT ALLOW any work-from-home situations...unless you are part of the clique and "in" with the family. So they have one set of rules for a small/select group of 'favored' people, and another set of rules for everyone else. Very old-school here. HR is a mess...there are basically two HR teams that operate completely different from each other. If you call one person in HR, you get one answer, and if you call another, you get a completely different answer. And this could be for employee issues, etc. that have legal ramifications. I know that many Managers and employees have left due to this reason. Being a Supervisor here is very difficult...and I feel sorry for my employees, who are subject to confusing policies coming from upper management and HR on important issues that make everyday life difficult here at corporate. All the really good people leave after a few 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
