I don’t believe it can be worse than this

I’m here for a few more days because I got an offer for another job. It was funny when a colleague told me that I shouldn't have done it and that I wouldn't be able to cope with the situation there. C'mon, could it be much worse than here? I am... — 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))

Belk, please don't place photographic ads about Christmas, and family time, because your advertising is hypocritical. Sure you may donate to charities, but we all know you write off on taxes. You have employees work on holidays, and you don't give... — read more

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

No matter what is said on this websight, belk keeps on shufflin’ along. She may be old, broken, unstylish, and downright ratchet, but she keeps staying afloat. Those Kim Rogers tshirts are Payin the bills.

How long can you tolerate it?

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.

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

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.
