Pros

good benefits(medical,dental,vision, 401K matching) good employee discount( 20% off all merchandise including clearance AND 40% off on special designated employee double discount weekends. - about 15 per year) No weekends usually. Stable shift hours.

Cons

Belk was bought out by Sycamore Holding Company - they own Torrid: Talbots and other smaller retailers. They have created terrible chaos at Belk. They can't control buying and distribution AT ALL. They have insane expectations of staffing hours, and cannot clearly communicate any sort of message about the new Belk brand. I honestly believe they are out to ruin Belk and liquidate the company.

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.
