Pros

The constant Employee discounts. Coworkers were nice to work with. We would have each other's backs and encouraging words for one another.

Cons

New management are just firing people not really knowing what individuals do and how much they contribute to the company. People are overworked and understaffed even though it is promised that they will hire more help. Even though there's new leaderships in place I feel that their attitudes don't change the work environment for better and actually truly look after each of their current employees who puts in 150% and keep their promises instead of letting people go I can see Belk going the way of disappearing department stores.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
