Part time employees

Many part time employees have not been called back to work but their employee discount still is in effect so are these part timers still employed with Belk even though no one has called them or sent them a final letter ?

Employees should protest

I think if every employee stood up and said “we are mad as hell and we aren’t gonna take it anymore” and walked out things would change.

Wait what !!!

You cut hours last week and extend hours next week . What is going on ?

New Hours

Why not wait for the next schedule to go to 11-7. The employees have planned child care, other jobs, care givers to parents etc. this is a lack for of respect for the people who are actually working your stores. They have stepped in and become... — read more

Belk Changing Hours ti 11-7?

I just heard Belk is changing their hours to 11-7 instead of 11-6. This makes no sense. We have drastic employee hour cuts, and the store is getting slower due to the Covid 19 upticks. I don't understand this company. No wonder they are so close to... — read more 

Furlough over?

Does anyone know if the remaining furloughs are coming back ?

Belk Layoffs Unfair

Many of my colleagues have been laid off from Belk only to now see them hiring college grads with no experience when many of us have graduated in past three or four years and have retail experience. I ask the CEO to stop this outrageous practice and... — read more 

Employee Hour Cuts

How severe are the hour cuts in your store that Belk just imposed? At our store some have been cut to zero or almost no hours. Do you think this will really stop at the end of the month as promised?

no communication from Mother Harper?

Just wondering why mother Harper is keeping Employees in the dark? Khols, stein mart, Macy’s, TJ Maxx, JC Penney’s CEO have all made statements and had email releases with some detail about the company’s economic status, not Belk, just silence.

August Is Coming

Anyone have any more information on whether store closures will begin in Q3 August? We’ve seen some late summer stock come in but still nothing that screams we will be here to see the holidays. Just wondering if anyone has received any merch that... — read more

All the hard work, corporate visits, sale sets, floor moves, working holidays, getting hours cut, having vacations denied for no reason, showing up at 5am for charity day, missing out on normal life events because you’re stuck at Belk, some... — read more 

How much worse can it get?

So I’ve gone from 39 hours A week before the furlough to 37.5 then to 35, then to 32 and finally to 30. My 401k match has ended, HSA contribution has ended, health insurance incentives have ended, and apparently we are only getting paid 6 hours for... — read more

Free stuff

Why is it that we get free gifts with purchase on some vendors in fragrance and they specifically say with large size purchase and the customers is buying a small size and act like spoiled brats when you tell them that, then call a manager who... — read more 

$15 is top pay

our regional referred to $15/hr cosmetic associates as “top pay”, only at Belk would $15 be considered top pay, what a joke.

The company is literally falling apart

our Cosmetics/fragrance counter is EMPTY, stock levels are are so low customers ask every day “when are you closing?”, and EVERY manager is going to interview for other jobs, including the store manager, the end is near!!!!

Corporate Collapse

I work at corporate and was one of the people to be furloughed but then told I was coming back. Now I’m being told I won’t be coming back until end of August which means never. Run while you can and get another job AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Belk Cutting Hours

Belk is cutting hours at all stores "due to Covid 19". This is supposed to be temporary for "a few weeks". They are trying to prevent another round of furloughs, according to management. This could be Belks' death nail.

oh my, oh my!

It just goes to show how desperate Belk has become, they did it to themselves, Covid just exacerbated the issue. Now they have to resort to a name calling shill, and what sounds like some very witty ex-employees, one thing is for certain, this is... — read more

Our store has severe AC issues constantly. It is either not working properly or Belk is not running it enough to properly cool the store. On good days, downstairs is barely tolerable and upstairs is hot. On bad days, the whole store is a sauna. ... — read more 

belk pays low

I worked cosmetics until 2019, then took a job at another company making $300 a week more. Belk is most definitely a sinking ship.
