Feel fortunate that I have a choice

If Belk was the only company I could work for, then that would be really worrying. This way, there are options and I am not forced to work here until they give me layoff. Why should I worry then and why should I be frustrated in which direction... — read more

How seriously do you take your job here?

Hmmmm.....see they're doing this now. How'd the recent chainwide hiring day go? Reading comments on a store the size of Southpointe, Durham, having just two registers is beyond belief.

What could be worse?

What’s worse than a sinking ship? How about the crazy low morale to go along with it? If (and that’s a huge if) raises are given out it still won’t fix how employees feel about Belk. High performing people are leaving because they’re able to get more... — read more

Belk has an identity crisis

If Belk wants to become a thrift store, they should just say so. It's still a mix of a semi-upscale department store (with better handbags, cosmetics, shoes ect...) but the "one register" open and no floor help makes it closer to a Ross or TJ Maxx... — read more 

Belk's Troubled Times

try having a store manager who asks STM's to come in early, then calls out herself leaving the STM's to do all the work. You can't make this stuff up.

Belk in crisis mode, employees quitting by the bus load!!

Are there any good SM left?

It’s amazing how much my store manager gives bad vibes. I really don’t know how he got to that position at all, because with his behavior he totally throws employees off balance. The only motivation he can give is for us to get out of here. Are there... — read more

Whenever you see a store reach this rock bottom, realize the end is near, and stores will close in stages

Much like Sears did, the slowest, worst performing stores will close first, then they will announce a full liquidation and all stores will close. Belk has reached rock bottom, the lowest of the low in the retail sector. Stores are a mess, managers... — read more

How long will it work this way?

For now, it all works somehow and will work as long as there are those employees who work hard despite being overloaded with jobs that need to be done by several employees. However, there are fewer and fewer hard workers, and there are more and... — read more 

PRATICE WHAT YOU PREACH Belk

You have us watch watch cultural, disability, harrasment, racism, prejudice courses/ videos. Yet, Belk does not treat their long time, elderly, disabled employees right. I've seen younger employees with a brace/ cast, seniors on a cane stand all... — read more

OK, where is that potential?

I can’t possibly agree with some people here who claim that Belk still has some potential. Don't get me wrong, I would love that to be true, however my question is, what is that potential? How come I don't notice it? A company that does not know how... — read more
