Pros

The corporate office has been updated to include a gym, updated cafe and coffee bar. So that's nice.

Cons

There are absolutely no processes put in place in the eCommerce Dept. VP's bark and scream orders at people and don't listen to any of the teams suggestions or ideas. They've eliminated so many positions but haven't planned for how any of those tasks will now be handled. Employees are overworked without as much as a thank you.

Pros

-Friends made along the way -Free food was always around -Fries in the cafeteria -No more pros have to get to twenty words minimum

Cons

This place most likely took years off my life. If you are looking to work here, run- don’t walk. It is by far one of the most toxic environments you can step into. Be it co-workers, bosses, management, or the fact that it’s a sinking ship. Lots of promises from upper management/CEO but no follow through. If you want to be paid for all the time you put in, good luck. Extremely high expectations at all levels to live and breath Belk, but you will not see your hard work on your pay check. Merit increases are an actual joke- you will laugh at yours if you are offered one. The bonus initiative started this year and I will say that was appreciated as it’s better than nothing but maybe put that money in a salary instead of redesigning the whole building. If you are not the mold of who they want- good luck. You have to be bubbly, young, and cute. If you can’t adhere to that or at least pretend to be that- no bright future for you here. Never met more dramatic people in my life. Everything is the end of the world and the blame game is popular. Upper management wants to pin someone down for a mistake instead of working through the issue- most likely you can take the blame even if you did not create the problem. Lastly, the benefits are horrid.
