Mask back

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

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

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
