Managers no where to be found. our managers (three on duty) mysteriously disappeared today (Christmas Eve), we were calling and calling and nobody was answering for over an hour. I work in Cosmetics and myself and two other associates searched the... — read more 

A friend works there and I know they have it much, much better than we do in every aspect. She could put in a good word for me so the chances are I'd get a job. But still I'm hesitating. I'm scared of changing my job, being the last person in and if... — read more

I’ve heard from a very good source that RVP’S will be on the chopping block in 2021. So will some store managers. Have a feeling they will let people go without mercy.

Happy FESTIVUS, this is your special day to complain.

I haven’t had anything to be cheery about this season. I dread coming into work as it is, but I know that for the next few days after Christmas we’re going to have a ridiculous amount of returns. And take into account that we’re short staffed as it... — read more 

If a company can only pay employees at most fifteen bucks an hour and can’t even give them 40 hrs as full time they must be in severe financial trouble.

My hours have been less than 28 a week for months now and I was eventually forced to get a 2nd job. I don’t know how the company can expect us to prioritize them first when the hours we are being provided aren’t enough to be sustainable. Now I have a... — read more 

the way belk is operating is not normal. Period.

Let’s make it happen folks! The magic word- Conversion!

Belk after the holiday's is going to be a mix of empty shelves, no customers, layoffs, and store closings. what a complete mess. get out now if you can.

Belk needs to hire more people. It is ridiculous the workload that the company puts on employees. It is Christmas season staff appropriately!

From the macy's layoff page "We lost our DVP to Belks along with half the store managers in our district who he recruited. " So Belk is still hiring. Still recruiting. And still, after nearly two decades that I am familiar with, hiring Macy's... — read more 

I’ve always wondered that. Wouldn’t it make more sense to attract customers that actually HAVE money to spend? Instead of someone trying to get another 65% off a sweater that is already $9.99?

"If you are in your 20's, 30's, 40's or even your early 50's, you should consider alternatives while you can rather than stay with a company that will continue to downsize, increase workload to even more unmanageable levels, and have fewer and few... — read more 

Do y'all think the company will make it mandatory for employees to take the Covid 19 vaccine?

belk is using covid as an excuse to cut costs to the bare minimum at the store level and use they money to give the executive team six figure bonuses, covid is the perfect excuse.

Belk is not progressing the same way as other retail stores. It’s now mid-December, fitting rooms are still closed, lines are still long (One register open), furloughs have been called back, but where are they? Most of them are only working one day a... — read more 

Wow. This site has NOTHING to do with being laid off at Belk. It’s just a board to post all of your gripes. If you’re so miserable, your job is so bad, your hours are getting cut, One Belk is a farce, Executive leadership is non- existent... — read more 

I just want to send out a huge THANK YOU for all the grand memories you’ve given me so far. I’ve sooooo enjoyed all the hours that I’ve been overworked followed by an increase in stress levels caused by my managers. I especially applaud cutting my... — read more 

Spending money on upgrading the warehouse. Albeit a rather small sum. Hmmm. That kinda goes against much of the scuttlebutt here that Belk will soon be bust. What about the stores you ask? What about them? Who needs stores anymore. Did... — read more 

Anyone else hearing STM's in some stores are working normal 5 day work weeks instead of the 6 day work weeks for the holiday? But still collecting their comp time?

just so you know...Don Hendricks HATES going in stores, he will make up any excuse to avoid it. He also refers to store level workers (managers included) as “those people” ...truly a slimeball.

my RVP told me he/she will be gone very soon, and to start looking elsewhere. Said it will be a disaster next year

With these bizarre coupons, 70-80% off, scattershot merchandise, and lack of inventory...all signs point to it.

Just wondering why Belk doesn't have merchandising, and fulfillment overnight. Wouldn't it be easier to meet the tier goal for fulfillment by picking the majority of the units at night, have people start packing at 7am, and finish up during the day?... — read more 

Anyone else having multiple store managers quitting in their regions? Bailing before the ship sinks I take it? Also, our RVP was to visit our store this week but had to cancel due to a ban on travel. 🤔

I have nothing against people using a calculator. However, and someone else has noticed this as well, if a person in a higher position cannot calculate a percentage of some small amount without using a calculator, I think that is not a good sign. I... — read more 

My manager is upset that sales are down and he’s taking it out on us, threatening to cut hours if he doesn’t see any ‘improvements’. We have had our hours cut to the bone, at this point if we get any more cut I’ll consider it a vacation from all the... — read more 

A good friend at the SouthPark Belk in Charlotte said they haven’t seen Lisa Harper since December 2019. They said that raises all sorts of red flags as that is the flagship store and the gold standard for all belk stores.

I’m surprised sycamore is only 9 years old, started in 2011. I bet they will all be in jail 9 years from now.
