We have lost 8 employees in two weeks. Whats happening in other stores? Any input would be appreciated.
Restructuring or liquidating to close?
Orlane and Perlier beauty products arrived, but why come to Belk, when you can buy them off Amazon? What kind of restructuring is this? Or, are we being sent merchandise from various stores to sell so Belk can liquidate and close?

belk stores in disrepair
my store had mold, no a/c, rodents, just overall bad shape. belk never invests in their stores, not in the past and not now. I was at belk from 2013-2018.
You're A Shining Star
You probably were not appreciated by Belk, for all your hardwork, loyalty, patience, disrespect you endured through the years. Not all stores, not all managers treat their employees like Belk does. It's the associates, (yes, the lowly paid, and... — read more

Other than your coworkers - if you're lucky - is there anything good left at Belk?

Stores in bad shape
Is there any store that is in a somewhat good shape? I understand that the company is in trouble, but can't they set aside any money to fix up at least the key stores? The store I work in is in a desperate state. I personally would never have... — read more
We are the backbone
If you ever feel stressed just ask yourself if the people at the top care about your wellbeing. If you answered truthfully then you know it is a resounding NO. This is a multi-million dollar company that chooses to pay subpar wages at the store level... — read more

Cut hours but hire new people? red flag?

Belk Age descrimination
Belk is systematically trying to push elderly employees out the door. Anyone (including managers) over 50 beware, anyone over 60 your time is up.
everytime i go to belk griffin i see one employees and no managers in sight
i have been to the belk griffin GA and it is a mess and managers won;t lift a finger to help the clerks. it seems to be getting worse. i feel bad for the employees. nobody deserves to work for such a shoddy company.
Mask back
I just got back from a short vacation to find out all employees in my store must wear a mask starting tomorrow. Is this chain wide or just in my store 0396 in Oxford, MS?
Why bother anymore
I stopped caring a few months ago. Now I’m just going through the motions for my shift each day. If I see a problem I just keep it to myself because 9 out of 10 times managers won’t do anything to fix it. The way I see it is if management doesn’t... — read more

RVP and STORE MANAGER house cleaning?
I heard from a VERY good source there is going to be a “house cleaning” of RVP’S and their “pet” SM’s within the next two to three months as some RVP’S are extremely out of touch with what is actually going on in stores on a day to day basis. — read more
New music
I noticed new mood music . It's a refreshing change. I wonder if Belk stiffed the Muzik company along with the rest of our vendors?
Why Did Lisa Harper Step Down?
Does she not want to be CEO when and if Belk liquidates? Is Nir Patel qualified? This is more smoke and mirrors.
Welcome to the new Belk at Galleria Dallas

Family Dollar Hiring at $15.90-$17.90 per hour
If you desire to be in retail, Family Dollar is hiring in the Charlotte area at a $15.90-$17.90 per hour rate. It is the same customer base that Belk has now, cheap with a bad attitude, so you will feel right at home.

Sycamore is the one who runs the show
it does not matter who the "C.E.O" is Sycamore runs the show. The CEO could be Donald Duck, it would not make a difference.
Nir Patel to run both Belk and Kwick-E-Mart as C.E.O.
It's gonna be a twofer! Sounds like a winner to me!
What's really going on?
how many people out there believe there is possible some malfeasance going on in the corporate office among the top brass, any ideas?
