Anyone heard if we are going to open Thanksgiving?
STORE MANAGER, try doing what the associates do
You critique us on bopis, picks, Belk apps, emails, clean dressing rooms, and recovery. Why don't you continually stand for 8 hours and do what we do?
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
WHY 6 REGISTERS? When I'm the only one checking customers out.
This is beyond ridiculous, having six registers combined when only one person checks customers out. Just another show from Belk, and as always using associates to the full extent.
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.
If you work at corporate...
and survived the layoffs...how much has your workload increased in your department compared to what it was...Just curious...
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
Competitive pay and flexible schedules...Really?????
belk is always hiring because they cannot retain good employees. Has anyone noticed those pre recorded messages over the P.A. saying belk offers flexible schedules and competitive pay? does anyone take those seriously ??
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
Older employee searching for a new job
I’m already falling into depression because I can’t find another job. I didn’t get layoff at Belk but every day I feel like they'll let me know that I’m too old and that I need to go somewhere else. Maybe I’m just imagining it but I’m looking for... — read more

Monster customers
Yesterday I had wonderful, delightful customers. They were a joy to wait on. However I paid dearly for my happy day. Today was a steady stream of true hatefulness from the public. Threatening me at every turn. One woman said she was going to have... — read more
REGISTER REMODEL, HA HA
Like Belk is going to have 4-5 people working at these registers, thats a joke. Seriously,....smh. They'd actually have to hire extra people, its usuallly 3-4 people closing the store. They're cheap and don't want to spend the money, they could... — read more

Could everything have been different?
People used to love working at Belk. There isn't a single happy person here now. Some stores are closed, people have lost their jobs, working conditions are worse than ever, customers are increasingly dissatisfied too. The company is sinking.--------... — read more

belk keeps on’ keepin on
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.
Chaps leaving?
I heard that Chaps is pulling out of all Belk stores?
CEO VISITS BELK STORES
Why is Ceo Nir Patel visiting certain Belk stores?
Are there any people interested in open jobs here?
I doubt it........ I looked at the open positions at Belk and I wonder if anyone will be hired for those positions at all... If so, I wonder how long people will stay... Will they stay here longer than a few days... This is a place to leave. Not a... — read more
Employees dropping like flies

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
What are the "key stores" or the "top 25" stores?

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

Cut hours but hire new people? red flag?
Please explain why we would have to cut hours but hire new people?
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.

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.
