Topics regarding layoffs at Belk

How seriously do you take your job here?

I hear stories about the company all the time, that it is lost, that nothing can be fixed, that it is doomed, that stores are closing, the atmosphere is terrible and toxic... and I can't help but notice that most people still take their job very... — read more

Hmmmm.....see they're doing this now. How'd the recent chainwide hiring day go? Reading comments on a store the size of Southpointe, Durham, having just two registers is beyond belief.

What could be worse?

What’s worse than a sinking ship? How about the crazy low morale to go along with it? If (and that’s a huge if) raises are given out it still won’t fix how employees feel about Belk. High performing people are leaving because they’re able to get more... — read more

Belk has an identity crisis

If Belk wants to become a thrift store, they should just say so. It's still a mix of a semi-upscale department store (with better handbags, cosmetics, shoes ect...) but the "one register" open and no floor help makes it closer to a Ross or TJ Maxx... — read more

Are there any good SM left?

It’s amazing how much my store manager gives bad vibes. I really don’t know how he got to that position at all, because with his behavior he totally throws employees off balance. The only motivation he can give is for us to get out of here. Are there... — read more

Whenever you see a store reach this rock bottom, realize the end is near, and stores will close in stages

Much like Sears did, the slowest, worst performing stores will close first, then they will announce a full liquidation and all stores will close. Belk has reached rock bottom, the lowest of the low in the retail sector. Stores are a mess, managers... — read more

PRATICE WHAT YOU PREACH Belk

List of vendors that have pulled out?
