Pros

They try to come across as a "family owned business that cares for their employees". Some times they do, if they like you. We do have a new president of the company that came from JC Penny and Sears, and she is making a difference. They recently let us have 2 days off during the Holiday season after they were finding out that their salaried managers were getting burned out working 6 days a week 11 hours a day. You do get 1 hour for lunch though!!

Cons

long hours... they state in their employee manual that you are required to work 40 hours a week as a salaried employee, but they neglect to tell you that they schedule you more than 50+ and you work even more than that. They also only give you one weekend off per month even though there is enough coverage for the store. But, if you have a title of operations or merchandise manager, you only work one night a week. Some store managers are required to work 1 night a week, but most don't(favoritesim). NO SICK LEAVE

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
