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
belk may be heading to oblivion but still has more style then macys
i was searching mens clothes on macys web site and was shocked to see how much garbage they call merchandise. no dress shorts no flat caps and no nation/private brand polos worth buying. belk may be turning to its zelos brand more and more but at... — read more
Age discrimination
It seems that Belk can now employ everyone except those who are older? Correct me if I'm wrong, but... They've recently hired a person who doesn't care about her job at all. Meanwhile, the mother of a friend of mine who needs a job, who was a great... — read more

We were told that the “competitive” wage for our location was $10 per hour
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO3nVOzHriM what a big waste of resources
All she did was line her own pockets
Lisa Legacy took a profitable company and led it into bankruptcy let's be clear not because of COVID . I would like to list her Legacy accomplishment; Increase Private Brands from 20% to over 50% by taking all the quality and value to hit low price... — read more
Are you looking for a new job?
If not, why?
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.
Where are the new opportunities for retailers?
For the remaining retailers, there are opportunities for customer service jobs in local and state municipalities. Many seniors chose retirement options due to Covid. A vast new path for youth. Skip the fast food option, even if offering $15/hr... — read more
Feel fortunate that I have a choice
If Belk was the only company I could work for, then that would be really worrying. This way, there are options and I am not forced to work here until they give me layoff. Why should I worry then and why should I be frustrated in which direction... — read more
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?
Lancôme Replacement
Anyone heard what brand will replace Lancôme? If one ever does..curious if larger stores have gotten a replacement yet.
Notice that Belk declined to say WHY their leadership shifted around
In the Charlotte Observer article today Belk declined to comment why they have shifted leadership around. A BIG RED FLAG!!!!!!
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

Part Time, No Benefits, Open Availability, Under $11/hr
Belk's ideal employee would work part time, with no benefits, and be on call with open avilability for under $11. Interesting thing about this is that almost ZERO people took this offer when posted on job sights. And the people that do accept are... — read more
$300 New hire sign on bonus
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.
open sell shoes and no better merchandise
interesting that two dillard's managers came in and gave us their cards about switching jobs. they also suggested that open sell shoes is one of the signs that the company is in deep, deep trouble. they said macys is doing this at their stores that... — read more
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
Done
I should be at work right now, but I’m not cause I quit. I’ve never quit a job in my life, so I’m trying something new.
bad managers
ive seen a manager ask an associate to do three things at once while she goes outside to smoke. belk needs to rid themselves of these toxic managers.
I’m leaving. Belk won’t pay out pto
Is it true if I just start calling in sick they’ll only pay out 3 sick days in a row? Anyone have any ideas?

Belk's 125 stores??
Belk corporate focusing on 125 stores as being successful. That leaves 175 stores that would face potential closure. Someone else commented on this the other day, saying they were in Mississippi. Is this why some stores have very little inventory and... — 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
Belk's Troubled Times
try having a store manager who asks STM's to come in early, then calls out herself leaving the STM's to do all the work. You can't make this stuff up.
is this happening at all belk stores or just pensacola
