Write ups over Credit/Email

Is anyone else's store writing people up over not making credit or email capture goals? My store just started doing this a few weeks ago and we'd never done this before. Just curious if this is a company wide thing or if my store is just crazy.

Maybe I'm too nostalgic

Back in the day I couldn't even think that Belk could get into this situation of talking about Chapter 7. Despite the fact that the job I did here wasn't easy and that I felt very bad many times because the employees weren't treated well, I am still... — read more

Long post

Very sad what Belk has turned into . I worked for the company for 17 years . I turned in a 2 week notice and it was so bad I couldn’t work it out . The management will not answer the phone for associates . Won’t approve PTO , but takes 2 weeks for... — read more 

Chanel exiting

Was announced today Chanel is leaving Belk. Bring on the dr-g store fragrances.

Staying until the end?

I left this company recently because I am not so miserable to do a huge job for the company until it closes its doors without being adequately paid or valued for it. Being the last one on a sinking ship in this case there is nothing to be proud of... — read more 

Atmosphere at Belk...

is even more troublesome. This is just a small detail: not hiring full time, forcing employees to do jobs of two or three people, taking registers out, blocking off selling space in some stores, lack of brand name merchandise, elimination of... — read more

Can't find a new job?

When I was still working in Belk, I was sick of people constantly telling me that I needed to look for a new job. Basically, I was too lazy to look for a new job, and I thought I couldn’t get any much better job, so I postponed my job search as long... — read more 

Tired of being short staffed

Just wondering when the company is going to hire, if at all. Running on a skeleton crew daily is exhausting, and with the hours back to regular business hours, fitting rooms opening up, we barely have the staff to man the business we have. How long... — read more

What do they expect from us?

Seems to me that my location is slated for closing but until it's time they're running it with less than skeletal crew with no intentions of bringing anybody in to help. It's ridiculous what we're expected to do within the few hours we're given. I... — read more

What a scam

This leadership team is a bunch of con–artists. How can you run a company and never go into a store? or run a company from a resort in Mexico? Thats Lisa Harper for you.

Those who could have changed something are gone

Let's face it, there is nobody left among this leadership who has the talent and skills to turn this company around. Everybody who could have pulled it off is long gone, those left are only looking out for themselves and how they can grab as much as... — read more

Monsters

The customer is now more dangerous than ever before. Mean threats are aimed at me, some with physical attacks implied. Not only is Belk toxic it is now dangerous.

Belk Managers Continue To Lie To Associates

Obviously they dont care about the loyal associates who have worked with them for years. They're going to use us as much as possible, until the end.

Ga. Belk Closings

We would appreciate any info on the steps Belk initiates before closing a store. Our managers continue to be us, and insist our store will not close, lying to us until the end.

run! run! run! it's getting worse!
