Pros

Good discount, always a sale, the old Belk associates are very loyal.

Cons

Since the Belk family sold the company to Sycamore Partners there have been massive lay offs, the family feeling is gone and no one is protected. It's only about the bottom line and the people don't count any more which is not how the Belk family ran the company. The future of the company is in jeopardy, focus is on millennials but that is not who the customer is. The workload is unbarely with no support.

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.
