Pros

Flexible work schedule, ok benefits package. The co workers are some of the best people I have ever met, and we will remain close even though I'm not there.Belk does a lot of community service events which is a decent thing.I've worked for larger retailers and found that Belk has a close knit family feel, particularly amongst sales staff. We would often have store "parties" for the customers with music, food, etc. for sales events.

Cons

Not enough floor coverage most days. Employees end up working all over the store. Low pay, no raise if you don't meet Belk charge card quota. There are some very talented sales people there, but management doesn't utilize them properly. Staff is generally over worked and understaffed. Staff spends time outside of their designated departments, to cover other areas, leaving their department uncovered. Customers are often frustrated because they can't find anyone to ring them up.

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.
