Now all associates are assessed on the total store. this is a way for Belk to cut pay, because, Guess what? Your store will NEVER make it’s goals. belk corporate and sycamore will make sure of that! then belk will offer no raise, or worse they will... — read more 

three managers (all from our district) all showed up at a job interview for a local business which was just posted online, if that does not say something is going on, nothing will!!

my daughter works at Belk and left when she was told she can’t use the restroom, she would have to wait, while the manager was sitting on her big butt eating cake.

"The buyout shop is known for its aggressive investing style. Sycamore acquired Staples in 2017 for $6.9 billion. Roughly two years later, in 2019, Staples sold debt to refinance existing borrowings, but also to pay a $1 billion dividend to Sycamore... — read more 

You'd think that someone from Corporate would respond to all this negativity if it wasn't true. Or at least try to reassure the employees if they cared about them.

Belk’s profit margins are becoming smaller and smaller, I don’t think they make much profit at all, even scattershot online sales don’t drive enough profit, and most of the merchandise is clearance or doorbuster.

I think those sycamore owners and the top brass at corporate are actually evil people, they have no interest in this company, they just want the multi million dollar lump sum they get when they company files chapter 11.

I see so many people who are miserable here (I am one of them) and it made me wonder if there is anything left for employees to say they like or enjoy? Because I used to actually like working at Belk once upon a time, even if it hasn't been the case... — read more 

It does not matter to belk what kind of problem the customer has or how long they wait. The associate has to handle more and more. The managers mostly either don't answer their phone or walk right by when there is a line of 10 people. To be fair... — read more 

I left the company in mid 2017, so I have been out of the loop for a while, but I was asked by my regional to “purge” six employees who were over 55 years of age, they were allowed severance, but it still was not a good business practice as they were... — read more 

There is a difference between a customer who spends money on cosmetics, shoes, handbags ext and a customer who quickly drops into belk to buy a $8 t shirt, unfortunately the $8 tshirt customer is what Belk is attracting now, and a store cannot... — read more 

They are making absolutely no investments in the company, taking benefits away, cutting pay, not paying vendors, not paying rent, not paying associates correctly, not upgrading stores, laying off at the corporate and store levels, taking away PTO... — read more 

belk and Jc Penny will be two of the largest department store chains owned by sycamore partners.

belk has never been concerned with the associates feelings or rights. They are oblivious to what actually is going on on the sales floor. It does not matter if you are a top performer, your hours get cut because the way they do the schedule does not... — read more 

Who is deleting posts? Any post that makes the suggestion of unionization or employees sticking together gets deleted. wtf?

Belk also has no transparency with employees, they are very hush hush about finances, layoffs, company credit ratings, ect.. now forcing associates to do the jobs of housekeeping, operations, loss prevention, visual and the list goes on under the new... — read more 

Both Benjamin Franklin and Malcom X noted that those unwilling to stand up for their rights don't deserve any. Over twenty thousand Belk employees vs. 12 greedy owners. Stand up, speak up. Your actions and your voice trump all their money. ... — read more 

Don’t let Belk keep “re-writing” your job, and take away benefits, PTO, weekends off, and your dignity. if you are still employed with Belk form a union and fight back against this c-appy company.

Does anybody have any concrete info on how Belk is doing now, after a good month of stores being open? Better, just as bad as they were before, or worse? Does their dismal credit rating still stand? There seems to be no news out there about this.

A possibility STM’s will be laid off? Any truth to this?

This can’t go on much longer.

belk only has $25 million cash on hand and $361 million credit is peanuts for a corporation the size of Belk, according to Moody’s that leaves them vulnerable for bankruptcy.

How can Lisa Harper and her "crew" claim that Belk sales are good, with a Moody's Caa1 credit rating lower than Macy's and Nordstrom, next to JC Penny and Neiman Marcus both which just filed for bankruptcy? Belk is almost at the bottom of the list... — read more

Have any other managers/associates been asked if they are perusing new job opportunities? Just curious.

When are stores going back regular hours ? Does anyone know?

Harper, Hendricks, Riggs, Patel, Hawkins still SILENT a few weeks after that video.....no comments about company, sales deficit, etc...

Typical day at Belk: Start work at 1030 and shop online orders until it is time for for the store open at 12. Open your assigned register for the day, where you will remain the only one in the department all day. Ring up never ending lines of... — read more 

I got out on my own. In 10+ years I was not allowed to move up into any better position, but I was allowed to have my job "re-written" and altered at their whim. I was also "allowed" to do the work of other, higher paid folks including managers, but... — read more 

It has been slowly dying ever since Sycamore entered the picture. No amount of sugarcoating facts is going to change that. If you are smart, you are already looking for a new job.

All the executives are panic stricken over this websight......just sayin’

Is it one week for every year based on your average daily hours? A 12 yr employee was only offered $1,800

Are Harper, Riggs, Hawkins, Hendricks, and Patel still “working” from home?

Oh yea Belk sales are great!!! We are beating last years numbers by far!!! Well why did belk lay off 80 in February, cut employee insurance benefits? Take away PTO? Lower store spending for supplies? Cut payroll to bare minimum? Cut manager salaries... — read more 

Are there actually store managers out there that believe Belk is doing well?

Remember in late 2017 when everyone at Belk was forced to sign an arbitration agreement? belk was getting their ducks in a row. They know what they were doing to lead to lawsuits.

As a store manager, I have to, in good faith, tell all associates I don’t think Belk will be able to survive for much longer, please start looking at new job opportunities, and if you are a regional manager I encourage you to pressure the powers that... — read more
