He’s gone wonder what’s next

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 

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

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 

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 

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

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?

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?

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 

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 

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.

If I have to hear one more terrible techno song or another horrendous Phil Collins cover, I’m ripping my own ears off!!

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 

In the last month Belk has lost a staggering number of managers, a large number of Belk stores have a management position open, yet very few applicants after seeing what managers go though on a daily basis.

can anyone understand why they are doing this?

If I had more opportunities for a job in the town where I live, I wouldn't stay here for another second, but I certainly don't intend to suffer this madness for a long time. Where does anyone get the right to yell at employees? If they say that an... — read more 

Everybody who is considering Belk as their long-term employment is not looking at the big picture. Retail is dying. It's only a matter of time before we become completely obsolete. If it doesn't happen in the next five years it will happen in ten. As... — read more 

Our store manager acts as if his job is much, much harder and more stressful than it actually is. I don’t believe his job is even half as stressful as he pretends it to be? That person doesn't really do anything, but he pretends that everything... — read more

For every one new hire at Belk, three people quit. Belk is in TERRIBLE shape when it comes to employee retention. Some stores are just operating on key holders. Store Managers for the most part are staying because they get a huge bonus.

No wonder people keep quitting. Chump change.

I would be lying if I said I didn't care about this job. I love working in retail and it was nice here for a while. What really bothers me is when despite everything I do, despite all my commitment, the manager still doesn’t consider me a... — read more

I absolutely hate how dirty our store is. And I know there are those who are in even worse shape. Can't Belk at least make sure the stores are little cleaner?

It really pi---s me off when management behaves like we should be happy and grateful to work here. I earn every penny through hard work here, no one gives it to me just like that. Then why such attitude towards employees? Belk treats the worst... — read more
