Business Outlook
Pros
- good discount and deals on merchandise - great co-workers, family like atmosphere - opportunity to learn the basics of retail and merchandising hands-on, great experience for those who want to start a career in Retail - fairly consistent communication, process and procedures - Belk is careful and steady about their growth, realistic about goals and sales
Cons
- work can sometimes be monotonous (sale sets, markdowns) and become robotic - compensation is just okay, no commission or bonus for most departments or managers on the sales floor - work-life balance, holidays can get crazy, but that is the case in most retail stores
