Pros

A lot of "free" product in cosmetics department. A good employee discount.

Cons

The managers are rude, they push credits, credits, credits, even when no one wants a Belk credit or already has one. They make the sales goals completely unattainable, then schedule so many people to work at a time that they cannot possibly make the goals. The scheduling is a joke and my schedule changes every few days, so I can't actually plan anything without it interfering with work. The managers are completely incompetent and do not treat the employees with any respect. Belk is a very unorganized company and makes it impossible to have any positive relations with its employees. Every other employee I work with is looking to leave even after being employed there for over 10 years. I didn't take the advice of others when I read this page and took the job anyway. Don't do it! Stay away from this company altogether. It is a joke and it will ruin your life the entire time you are employed there.

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.
