Schedule not posted until Friday before the following week. Only two days before. Is this happening at other stores?

Help! My store had five associates quit in three days! Is anyone else going through this? Belk needs to start pay at $15 everywhere!

No matter how much I work, no matter how engaged I am, it seems that for Belk I will never be a good employee like those who work only the bare minimum and are mostly engaged in gossip, spreading bad vibes, backstabbing, etc. At Belk, values have... — read more 

I’ve been working in retail for years and for all these years I don’t believe I’ve been as tired anywhere as I was last week here. I was so tired I could barely work even on autopilot. Basically, this is a good company if you want to test your... — read more 

If a store manager, RVP, or even STM for that matter has not read this board, they are very ill informed. This page speaks the truth. And it lets associates know the dirty, dark secrets of Belk’s.

Some people just know how to impose themselves, even what little they do makes them look like they’re doing a huge job and somehow get the boss to really think that’s the case. On the other hand, there are people who break down from work, work much... — read more 

Goodbye to those who are leaving store184, the best of luck to you, another company will recognize your superior work ethics.

Our store always has a frantic atmosphere. they is always some type of urgent emergency. Managers are run ragged having to be at the store at 6 or 7am. Lines are consistently long and they never have enough help. Now employees are asked to work six... — read more 

Let's talk about it. I know I'm not the only one that deals with it not only from customers...but from co-workers alike. Worst of all...management keeps telling me it's all in my head and that quote "they're not racist, you're just sensitive"...

“YOU CAN FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CANT FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME”. —Abraham Lincoln

No chance it'll be standing past 2025. You can't run a company so badly and not expect to pay the price at some point.

I see that many here think that holiday sales will not meet the expectations. Would love to know what the arguments are for such opinion or is there just a lot of bitter employees here? I’m bitter too, but I’m not that pessimistic. — read more 

My store has a new hire who acts like she has worked for the company for 20 years. We also have a new hire manager who said she will be CEO of Belk one day. Talk about delusional. Batshit crazy.

I realized that all of my employees are hired within the last year, and most within the last six months or less. I’ve never seen a Belk will all new hires. The writing is on the wall crystal clear. Take warning managers, it does not look promising. — read more 

2021 brought us “one belk”, Lisa Harper’s resignation, Chapter 11, Nir Patel’s promotion, thousands of customer complaints, but no store closures thus far, what will 2022 bring?

If it ain't broke, why mess with it. This new label is as you know replacing New Directions. A brand Belk spent the better part of two decades building up. Of course like many things, they kinda ruined ND by over doing embellishments and of late... — read more 

I’m a store manager.....Working at Belk I Feel like I’m a dung beetle pushing a pile of 💩 po-p up a hill.

How much of the money really goes to charity? We have trust issues with you You want us to sale charity tickets, and presell, assigning each person to make the goal of thousands for you, and we get rewarded with some giftcards? Seriously, the... — read more

Having worked as toys r us and now belk, the business practices, management style, the vibe in the store, almost everything is identical to the way toys r us was running things weeks and months before they went out of business. I urge everyone at... — read more 

Bulletin boards at Store 0184 are displayed with employees who don't meet emails as being dunces and losers. Obviously whomever participated in this type of degradation are dunces. If you had any common sense you'd know the location demographics are... — read more 

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 

Not every retailer is stumbling, fumbling, sinking. And guess who the EVP/CFO for Ross Stores may be? Hint? He's another of the talents who ran away from Belk to join a winning team.

So let me fully understand this...As of February 2021 Belk has $7 million to its name, not even enough to make payroll and filed one day-chapter 11 all the way in Houston Texas where Belk has not one store, then got a $225 million boost of funds... — read more 

I was reading (i think I have the right name) “workplace“ magazine at the doctors office the other day, it had the 50 worst companies to work for in America. I believe Belk was #4 on the list. That says a lot.

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.

I do not understand how some people became managers, whats the requirements? Or is it about who you know, that you get the position? From my retail experience, it seems the best managers previously worked as associates.

Has anyone seen Mr. Patel in person or in a store since he took over?

DO NOT ALLOW BELK TO EXPLOIT YOU. IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN $15 DEMAND A RAISE EQUAL TO WHAT NEW HIRES ARE BEING PAID. IF YOU MAKE MORE THAN $15 DEMAND A RAISE EQUAL TO THE BUMP UP IN PAY OTHER EMPLOYEES RECIEVED. THIS IS ONLY FAIR. BELK IS EXPLOITING... — read more

Why are we selling third party gift cards? We look like CVS doing such. Just behond belief. Another small step in the wrong direction.

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 

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?!

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
