You think 300 is a lot? Wait until that number grows to 3,000 and then who knows how many more. The company is looking to cut costs and the easiest and least painless (or at least that's how the management sees it) way to do it is through layoffs... — read more 

Why is Belk trying to hide the closure of the fulfillment center from employees? Why was no announcement made? Why not take questions from the media? Why are people hearing about this online? 300 layoffs is very serious. Keeping employees in the dark... — read more

So apparently today was national associate appreciation day. Did your store do anything for you today? Lunch ? Breakfast? Snacks? Thank you ? Nope on my end. Great way to show it.

The right way to reduce heavy debt is certainly not to treat employees the way they are treated here. If the company can't pay its employees more, then it can certainly have better management that will treat employees like human beings. If nothing... — read more

While those on top continue not caring. Are all department store chains this disorganized?

And yet they want us to do the same amount of work in less time. Well, fu-k you Belk! I'll do what I can and the rest you can deal with. I don't even care anymore. My hours have been decimated as it is, getting fired will not make much of a... — read more 

I know that no one knows for sure, but I wonder if there are currently more Belk store leases that are renewed or those that are not. What do you think? As far as I know, the store I work in has no renewed lease, but there is still no mention of... — read more 

So Belk is reducing the size of most stores like reducing customer servives and Belk workers on sale floor? How is it working out for Belk so far? Losing loyal customers. Losing quality loyal Belk workers. Losing money right and left. Losing quality... — read more 

Whenever there is a reduction in selling space, that is a sign of serious financial trouble and/or liquidation. So if they block areas of the store off, I would start looking for a new job ASAP.

Who'd have thought that lousy wages and treating people like cr-p would cause so many to leave. Shocking, I know. Then they hire new people, continue the same treatment and even more leave. Now we're at the point where we are hiring anybody off the... — read more

A customer pointed out that Belk’s merchandise is “haphazard” and “random” which is a sign they are buying closeout merchandise from god knows where to create the illusion that stores are full.

Just look at Belk’s presence in Charlotte, they are trying to distance themselves from the community. They took their name off the Belk Bowl, the corporate office is like a ghost town, executives are working remotely from their homes across the... — read more 

A lot of it is out of the control of the top of the company, I agree. However, is it so hard for Belk to stop creating his own problems? Cheaper workers won't fix any problems here, but they can certainly create many more. I see people around me ... — read more

I keep wondering why Belk pays so little. The answer may be very simple. Perhaps the reason is that even those at the top know that Belk has no future and that is why they are no longer trying to save this company? That's my opinion. I would love... — read more 

Employees offered a .50 cent or $1 raise or told to quit, this is. What is happening in stores in North Carolina. Everyone is threatening to quit because of low pay.

The sun sets to the west and Belk does not understand that if the sun is not setting the earth will then fall to the gods of India. When does greed and lust come together, only Belk bonehead knows that! And for the one of the people who can't, you... — read more
