Belk news just saying it is looking for 1000 positions to fill all across its store this Saturday hiring event! Sure Titanic is sinking and we are hiring and looking for new passengers and booking new vacation trips for everyone folks!

Why is belk Cutting hours of existing employees, but hiring new ones?

The entire management culture at Belk disgusts me. Too many managers managing ever fewer workers - that can't be good. A company cannot survive without employees. However, I'm sure it could run just fine without most of the useless managers... — read more

In 2009, Belk had approx 23,000 workers, now it only has about 9,000 company wide. A huge drop in workforce.
