I enjoyed the job, but not the interactions with my manager or the lack of pay raise (despite promise of pay raise). - Sales Associate Belk Employee Review

Pros

I loved working with people. It was fairly flexible, which is great since I'm currently in college. I enjoyed my job.

Cons

My manager was a nice person outside of the workplace but she could really be awful and insensitive in the workplace. She generalized people and, even if she didn't mean to, could come off nasty and mean. I think she did mean to, though. She would give us impossible tasks and would be upset if they were not performed properly. She played favorites, which was obvious in the scheduling of employees. Like I said, I liked her as a person but not as a manager. She made my time there less satisfying. Also, you are supposed to be paid on a sliding scale according to sales. I was paid minimum wage the entire time I worked there, despite having one of the best sales records in the store. Very dissapointing. I left because it was too much work for what I was getting paid. Impossible credit goals in hard economic times is another big con. But despite all this, I did enjoy my job.

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.
