Topics regarding layoffs at Belk

Greed will destroy Belk

It's not that I don't want to work for Belk anymore, but I don't want to work for top dogs for whom this company serves only for personal gain. And it’s not that there are no options, I found an alternative very quickly. I refuse to continue to allow... — read more

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO BELK 124?

Very low. You disregarded, and disrepected the loyal associates who worked for you for years, by giving new hires 12.00 per hour. Enjoy those inexperienced associates, we're out.

Negative outlook - shocking

$15 an hour, what's the catch?

Most, if not all $15 an hour new hires will get minimal hours. Under 20 hours per week. Just about all of them are temporary holiday help, they will be gone on Dec 26th! Store Managers will have to pick up the slack for the payroll budget... — read more

As a long term employee I feel exploited

I’m glad when new hires are happy with their pay. Still, I feel taken advantage of in a way because they are paid the same as an employee who shows them how to do work and who corrects their mistakes. Belk seems to be proving over and over again how... — read more 

$$ 15 an hour!!

I can’t believe all the employees at out store in Monroe are making $15 an hour ,, that’s what Belk should have done a long time ago!! Who else store is doing this ? We heard only the few that couldn’t find help are doing it?!

The Actual Cost of Employee Attrition

I still can't believe that it's more cost efficient for Belk if new employees stick around for only a few days and leave, and then new ones come who also stay for only a few days and leave as well. I'm not an expert in business strategy but to me... — read more

You can't make a silk purse from a sows ear

You can paint, put up new signs, move registers, change merchandise, profess to be fashionable and liberal, have continuous sales, but we all know what's going on Belk. You're grasping at straws.

BELK (part of the Ebenezer Scrooge Corporate Association))

Pushing people way over their limits

I'm not complaining. It's more like criticism. It is not right for a company to push people over limits to such an extent. I mean, it's not unusual for retail, but it seems to me that Belk is not among the retail companies that squeeze people the... — read more

Those who tolerate working conditions at Belk for the longest time and do not believe in themselves that they can do much better end up worse off as a result.
