Someone please explain to me how thirty minute lunch breaks helps associates out? I've heard that its to preserve hours, but logically it makes no sense.

Managers jumping off like it’s the titanic. we are loosing managers (and associates alike) left and right. can’t blame them one bit.

To me it doesn't seem to be as bad as some people are suggesting. What am I missing?

401k gone?

Hello, is there any information on the future of alterations associates for Belk Stores. Will furloughs become layoffs or termination with severance?

Can you believe those Thanksgiving hours !

Customers can now order items and have them delivered to their front door the same day by a Belk employee. Any thoughts on this?

So I was I informed my furlough ended on a Saturday, I was told this about 2 weeks out, with the next day the start of my first week of availability. Scheduled 0 hours that first week. That week was followed by another week scheduled 0 hours. 14 days... — read more 

Belk is not belk. Period. change the name of the store.

I just want to ask to fellow belk associates if this is happening to you. Are you in a store that has several people who only have to run a register or sit at a door while you are working out freight, unboxing freight, recovering, setting sales... — read more 

I was an ASM for one year at Belk until about six months after they sold it. Our store manager was horrible. She was fired right before I quit. They told the associates she "retired" LOL.

The store manager seems scared of the other managers - they aight though. Store is a cluttered and ugly. People tryin leave to other jobs.

I’ve worked in three different stores and they all say the same thing “be thankful to have a job”, “it’s ok to quit if you don’t like it here (my favorite one), and “the grass is not always greener” , well after quitting Belk I can tell you the grass... — read more 

Does anyone know if Belk is going to open this Thanksgiving ?

Belk is going to pure store managers and STM’s galore in early 2021. Some stores will have an STM as “acting store manager”. Regional’s will also be on the chopping block. Store Managers enjoy your cushy job while it lasts.

I hear that the furloughs are being called back. Will that be all furloughed even full timers ? Would they do that and just let them go in January like they do the holiday help ?

Just wondering...how far behind are YOUR stores markdowns? I know our store is weeks and months, depending on the department. Some haven’t been done since before furloughs.

Belk looks like a storm went through it . It's not the associates fault. There are not enough of them working to keep the place clean. The company is letting it go to the dogs.

Don’t let this smokescreen of hiring “elves” and bringing back $10/hr furloughs back create the illusion that belk is now doing well, because it’s not. It is by far in the worst shape of any American department store chain, JC Penney, Kohl’s, and... — read more 

The Christmas "elves" memo is belks way of saying they will hire temps until January at Min, Wage, but are not bringing back long term associates on furlough because they are not sure what will happen in 2021.

Belk is now in the process of hiring Christmas help or "elves" as Belk calls them in the memo. Hopefully they willl bring back the furloughs before hiring temp elves.
