Pros

Meet some interesting customers who tell you how great "belk" use to be.

Cons

All of it. You are being micromanaged into oblivion by ignorant RVPs who originate from MACYs. Next, there are GVPs who originate from MACYs as well, but they are likewise ignorant and overly controlling. You are nothing more than a tool, and after you fulfill your role, they will find someone else to whom they can give a much lower salary than they did for you. This business is solely focused on maximizing its profits while operating. Spamming customers with credit card applications is mandatory, and it's encouraged and promoted to do it dishonestly. Then, you have two hundred events all year long that you call and try to sell to. From a business perspective, nothing makes sense. They already missed one bankruptcy payment, so you can be sure they will miss another, so it's all about making as much money as they can, as quickly as they can. Nearly every retailer in northern Florida has closed, and more are expected to follow suit very shortly. Don't go here; believe the reviews here. You would be better off cleaning a sewer than coming to work here, for the sake of both your sanity and general wellbeing.

Pros

I love the job and the work I do. Regional and corporate leadership are amazing.

Cons

Dated business practices. Less than bare minimum staffing causes so much unnecessary strain on employees. Hard working employees have to do the work of multiple employees because the staffing is not sufficient. Very difficult to have a work life balance when you're constantly in burnout with high levels of stress.
