Pros

Salary was good and the associates were all really good people

Cons

No room for growth whatsoever since they don't post open positions or if they do they already have someone in mind and its meaningless. Favortism and fraternization is rampant, like nothing I have ever seen. Senior managers going out with managers who report to them, managers going out with associates who report to them. Senior management is unqualified and just plain stupid, unable to do their job. All senior managers just sit in their office al day every day like they are the president and contribute nothing to the business. In what universe does senior management sit in their office all day the week of Christmas? Only at Belk. Associates, who work really really hard due to lack of staffing, are treated like a herd of moo cows who have no minds of their own. So many great people fired over random BS that honestly should have been taken care of my their managers long before it became a problem. All the way up to the regional and corporate HR managers are deceitful, manipulative liars. Horrible place to work.

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.
