So did anyone just see the post on Don Hendricks abruptly leaving Belk about hour ago? And now it’s gone. Just curious if I imagined it. Lol!
Kim Rogers Tables
Are any of you mo--ns folding down your Kim Rogers tables anymore? The legendary Kim Rogers herself called me on my IPhone 13 Pro Max highly upset and crying. She is threatening to pull all of her merchandise out of our stores! I need this fixed... — read more
Advance to a store manager
I’m not going to name anyone specific (because I think the administrators here delete posts with identifiable information), but in general, there aren’t many good SMs at Belk. Many do not have the qualifications to be SM, even though they are in... — read more
excel line
does anyone know what the belk excel line actually does in the form of actions? What are the steps after someone were to call the excel line?

The only thing the “managers” know how to do is to sit in the office and talk trash about their employees!!! asleep behind the wheel if I must
Hats off to store 108
Saw a lot of employees working hard and their store looked good. Hope they don’t have a nightmare SM. it’s nice to see some employees like many on this board that still try and care.
Blamed for things I had nothing to do with it.
When something goes wrong in our store, the manager points a blame on everyone except those who are really responsible for it. Does this happen in your store as well? I’m really tired of getting blamed for things that aren’t my fault. My impression... — read more
I do not want to repeat the same mistake
Looking for a new job is a job in itself. My biggest fear is that I will leave Belk and go to a company where nothing will be significantly better. However, as time goes on, I am becoming less and less picky. Is it even possible to find a good job... — read more
3 credits a day?
Associates were told this morning that we are expected to get 3 credits a day.....I can’t stop laughing....maybe Mr Patel didn’t want to get his 3 credits every day LOL
Closed Door Meetings Happening
Managers were in closed door meeting yesterday and today. Usually a closed door meeting is a sign of trouble.
Don’t Spend Time Beating on The Wall
Don’t spend your precious time beating on the wall and hope to transform it to the door! It is too late now to save Belk with all shake up from the top executive managements and all Belk CEOs are leaving the sinking ship now. Belk destiny and futures... — read more
Belk CEO’s resignation offers retailer chance to ‘change its trajectory,’ experts say
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/whats-in-store/article261480732.html
Face it folks..
If your executive leadership has left or is secretly planning to leave this bogus company then why the heck are YOU still here? Take it from the top- when the going gets tough the bosses get going. Just steer clear of any company they’ve moved to. ... — read more
Waiting for them to show you the door is not a good idea
Belk is becoming increasingly miserable with every single day. All we can expect here is to get laid off eventually. I have sent as many applications as possible and I hope to get a new offer before the total collapse here. I hope there aren't a... — read more

Belk has lots of employees living paycheck to paycheck. It's just the hard, cold truth. Please everyone have an exit plan, this company is literally holding on by a thread.
Nir Patel gone
He’s gone wonder what’s next
What do store managers do that makes them earn three or four times what an STM makes?
What makes a store manager worth $120,000 and an STM only worth $47,000? Someone (I suspect Don Hendricks) made the comment last week that you can't 'See' store managers working, but the job is 24/7 mentally exausting. whatever the he-l that... — read more
NO ONE in corporate cares!!!
The big wigs obviously don’t give a damn about the morality of their stores and they certainly don’t give a damn about the well being of their employees. They ONLY care about money. That is it. Normal higher ups would see red flags and immediately... — read more

Deposed CEO Lisa Harper flees belk to be CEO of Torrid also a syco partners dumpster fire. most likely a big raise in pay!
EXTREMELY unprofessional management!!!!!!
The store I work at has the MOST unprofessional and heartless management I have ever experienced!! The store manager who new is a major b**** and the fulfillment manager is a grade A unprofessional and classless human. She has completely lost ALL... — read more
Belk’s Tactics are getting exposed and they are suffering because of it
Belks shady business practices, mistreatment of employees, lack of living wage pay, and the list goes on...is finally taking a toll on Belk, employee retention is at an all time low, and stores can’t fill positions ranging from part time to... — read more
I've been here less than a year and I am leaving
I was hired less than a year ago and can't believe how dysfunctional this company is. I've never seen a store manager more unqualified than the one at my location. I will divulge the store and reasons I am leaving when I start my new job next week... — read more
Beware of fake customer complaints/write ups
Several associates have complained of being written up for fake customers complaints. one associate was written up for a complaint on a day she was off, the manager then backtracked and said she made a mistake with the date and time. another... — read more
Favorites and getting the Full Time/Part Time Ratio down
Managers have been instructed to "play favorites" by the R.V.P. This is a tactic used to weed out employees that don't fit the new hire criteria. Another tactic used is overworking the employees they want gone, most people have called out this... — read more
Dealing with a manager who plays favorites
It's getting really tiring. Those who are manager's favorites can work as they please, while the rest of us are getting squeezed. They don't even try to hide favoritism anymore, it's pretty much out in the open. Those who are favorites even brag... — read more
Give us a hint
I know a lot of you have found new jobs in the last six months. It'd be great if some of you would let us know if those jobs turned out to be what you expected and if they turned out to be better (and let us know which companies are worth checking... — read more
After Easter hours
I've heard that after Easter hours are dropping dramatically. Why not close early to combat low staffing and slower business after 6 or 7?
Secret Best of Belk?
Did only some stores do best of belk? The store I work at always had it yearly but no announcements at our store were ever made. I see several posts on linkedin and instagram from other belk stores celebrating it. Is it a secret this year?
They are making a big mistake
Pushing the older employees through the door to hire younger ones in their place, who will want to be paid more but won't take their job seriously at all, is a mistake that will cost Belk a lot in the future. They don’t seem to know the younger... — read more
All Managers must open Belk credit cards now!
Starting soon all store managers will have a credit goal! Yes you heard this correctly, managers must open 3 credits per week!! Not on the register? That’s ok, just carry the credit pamphlet with you and engage customers on the sales floor. This... — read more
Hours
How about cut the store hours 10-7 Monday-Saturday and Sunday 1-6. We are not busy after 7 we recover but can’t do but so much with 3 people closing. It is also not safe for your staff being the only business in the shopping center open.
I can’t take anymore of the god awful “music” we’re playing!
If I have to hear one more terrible techno song or another horrendous Phil Collins cover, I’m ripping my own ears off!!
They want an expert for everything for little money
Whenever it fails to squeeze someone, Belk makes them feel bad about it instead. Am I employed here to be an expert for everything? Just because I have a little more experience than new hires, I am expected to know how to do absolutely anything... — read more
