I am fortunate to, not only, have a job in today's market, but even more so to, work with such a great group of people. - Cosmetics Counter Manager Belk Employee Review

Pros

Always treated with respect by senior staff. I always feel supported and know my store manager will always have my back. It is a friendly, kind, fair, working environment. They treat their customers with respect and do a great job with marketing/promos- getting people into the store to shop.

Cons

It appears that the store operates with minimal staff. As a result, many things get overlooked and fall through the cracks. If done right, these "intangibles" would create a more pleasurable environment for the customer's shopping experience. The store is desperate need of updating. The floors are often dirty, merchandise on selling floors often messy and unorganized, stockrooms and storage areas so clutttered and disorganized that it hinders one's efficiency and ability to do his job. The brands we sell make us too one dimensional-- catering mostly to "mature" (retired) clientele, rather than the "professional" or the younger college student markets . You do not get non-productive time with this company... go to a meeting for a day, it counts against your sales per hour!!! Any time taken off the sales floor jeopardizes your SPH, and therefore your abilty to get a raise. This store is extremely LOW-tech-- terminals are ANCIENT---

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
