Pros

I enjoyed being given more responsibility and learning many new things. The company is not in debt and could have a bright future if they make some major changes to prevent turn over. People were very talented and had good work ethic. Good starter job, but not for someone looking for a more balanced work life.

Cons

The overtime was ridiculous, and it seemed to be the corporate attitude, there was a lot of pressure to work well over 6 pm. I would have asked for more money if I knew I would be working over 47 hours +. My manger ignored this and never gave me a 90 day review! The worst part is the benefits do not start for nine months and those were very expensive, yet they gave away 100,000 to Florida schools!? Word of advice, don't get sick. The computers were old, and needed updating badly. The old fashioned way of thinking is too ingrained in the higher ups, I felt like I was in church half the time. Too old south for me, they will fall to JC Penny and Khols with these ways of thinking. I wanted to slit my throat when I heard the bible stories being brought up in meetings as a way to explain competition in the world market! I mean are you serious?

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
