Pros

The people were great they were like family.

Cons

Management was unexperienced and never helped anyone they talked on the floor all day long and complain about everything. The Store Manager pretends to be on top of his game. He just walks through the store like lightning pretending to be busy. He only cares about looking good to his boss and will throw you under the bus even if it is his fault---he's an absolute snake in the grass. The store manager and his petty, disrespectful boss treat the other managers like crap even making people cry at times. No one wants to work there but people who've been there for many years. They are very unprofessional here. The Store Manager and his boss were overheard talking about everyone. The store manager even discusses information with other managers that don't work for Belk...... scandals all over this place. The store manager would also pretends to be notable but the truth is he works through others and take the credit behind their backs. We've lost some good people because of the Store Manager's lack of experience and this hurts everyone including the management team.

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.
