Our store has lost lots of good people None are being replaced and we are left to do the work of 4 people. Why is Belk not hiring
No pay raise this year
we did not recieve an employee pay raise this year, normally the last week of March. no mention of merit increase this year.
Best of Belk? Secret?
At our store it seems the last two years have been a secret best of belk. Is this the new norm in the company? Is it so management does not have to answer questions why one associate got it over someone else. Just wondering.
Outlet visit
Went to the Laurens outlet that opened today. Around 7pm the store was dead to have just opened today. Noticed there are no more fitting rooms and with no returns, that’s not very ideal. Saw a manager, an employee on the sales floor and an cashier at... — read more
The perfect storm of toxic
Belk fosters the worst kind of culture. No matter how short staffed the store might be the associates are on their own . When they lose associates in one area the one person left is expected to do everything. And the worse part about it is the HR... — read more

Raises ???
Has anyone heard wether we are getting a raise or not and how much??? No one has mentioned anything and we knew in February of last year we were all getting the same raise.
The “I haven’t heard anything like that” line
“I haven’t heard anything like that” did your RVP tell you to say this if questioned about the company finances. SMH
sycamore’s intention all along
When you treat your employees as bad as belk does. This is what happens. It’s as simple as that. Unethical owners and upper management =Employees unhappy = customers unhappy =declining sales It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this... — read more
Don't bank on severance
Just a heads up for those who are staying for the package - getting severance pay is not a sure thing. It's totally up to the company whether or not they wanna give you severance after they lay you off. So don't bank on that money and then end up... — read more
Time to do the curly shuffle
A longtime GVP has stepped down. It’s the curly shuffle again.
App downloads, emails, credit are a smokescreen to take focus away from significantly declining sales numbers
Sales are down exponentially. App downloads, credit, email are a way to take the focus away from that. Most stores are down double digits in sales and foot traffic
Conn’s is a nice store, but Belk is still loosing selling space, and lots of it
Conns is a decent store, but renting space inside an existing Belk store is not a good sign. That is in face a significant reduction in selling space, it’s no different then if Belk rented that space to a fast food restaurant, hair salon, nail salon... — read more

Don was scheduled to visit stores in Mississippi next week, that has been canceled.
Reduction in selling space = serious trouble
When you see reduction in selling space in any retail store that is a sign of serious financial trouble, sections, rows and entire floors closed off? You better start looking elsewhere for a new job, it won’t be long before it shuts down for... — read more
vineyard vines pulling out of Belk?
I was at Belk in Flowood and there was very little to almost nothing of vineyard vines merchandise is this an vendor issue or is it just Belk being Belk ?
Written up for not meeting Credit and Email Goals
At our store meeting, associates were told that credit and email goals must be met or corrective action will be taken. I am shocked. Can Belk write us up for not meeting these goals even if we are trying our best to get them? Is this happening at... — read more
Just sweeping everything under the rug
In fact, our regional came in the store and pretty much told the managers anytime we say anything negative about the job to turn it into a positive. If you want to know why Belk is failing so spectacularly, here's your answer. No company can... — read more
belk ceo Don Hendricks not present at any outlet grand opening
One would think that an outlet “grand opening” (as Belk corporate calls it) would be a big deal for belk because it’s a new business model. well at the Feb 12th grand opening of the Greeneville outlet, CEO Don Hendricks was conspicuously absent from... — read more
Policies
So, since we got a new store manager last year we have had a lot of policy changes. I’m just curious if the stuff they are saying is in fact true. Recently we were told that we can’t go in the shoe stockroom to get shoes because we need to do save... — read more

Belk Outlet = Your lease is up
all Belk’s turning into an outlet store will close within next two years. The lease is near end.
Carmen! Carmen! Prestige at Belk Style.
a glorified great clips at Belk i got a total make over I paid the same
Belk Outlet is smoke and mirrors
Advertising a Belk Outlet as “grand opening” is misleading. In reality the sales at these locations were down exponentially and Sycamore is buying time until the lease runs out. This is the time of the year that most businesses lay off/close... — read more
