Belk's corporate and store level management are in panic mode as employees are quitting daily and stores are drastically understaffed. Managers in some locations are also leaving, and some locations are running on one or two managers. People are... — 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
Customer's complain, but sill shop time and time again
I have to say that all the old bitty's that shop at my location, complain, complain, complain, say they will never shop at Belk again and they are going to cut up their Belk charge card, and they are back shopping for Alfred Dunner and Kim Rogers the... — read more
Does it have much to do with Belk or are there other reasons?
I wonder if the departure of a large number of vendors from Belk is the fault of this company or would most vendors decide to reduce store presence even if the situation at Belk was much better but because the pandemic accelerated some trends that... — 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
How long will it work this way?
For now, it all works somehow and will work as long as there are those employees who work hard despite being overloaded with jobs that need to be done by several employees. However, there are fewer and fewer hard workers, and there are more and... — read more
Compare Belk's to other department stores
if you look at Dillards, Macys, JC Penney, Nordstrom, even Target...how does Belk compare?
PRATICE WHAT YOU PREACH Belk
You have us watch watch cultural, disability, harrasment, racism, prejudice courses/ videos. Yet, Belk does not treat their long time, elderly, disabled employees right. I've seen younger employees with a brace/ cast, seniors on a cane stand all... — read more
OK, where is that potential?
I can’t possibly agree with some people here who claim that Belk still has some potential. Don't get me wrong, I would love that to be true, however my question is, what is that potential? How come I don't notice it? A company that does not know how... — read more

Originally we were supposed to have Lancome till November. Now we are told to RTV this week already. Thoughts on the rush?
Would you leve Belk if you could?
Just curious how many folks would leave if they could. I would but my family situation is complicated and I need to stay here...
Told to Cut Back Hours but hire new employees at Belk Job Fair on 6/12/21
Here is a humdinger for ya....our RVP instructed us to cut hours of existing employees and hire new ones at a job fair on 6/12
Registers
How can moving all the registers to a central location save money? Could someone please explain this to me cause my managers can't.
Belk is hiring in Alabama at $9.25 per hour
amazing competitive wage.. after taxes the average part time employee makes a competitive $77 per week. The full timers bring home $230 a week. How can you resist a payday like this?
Belk is HIRING!

Store Manager working 9-5 and all weekends off
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm an STM at a smaller store in Mississippi. Is this allowed? This sends a mixed message to my associates.
Disgusting!! Belk brothers would be ashamed
Look at what they changed their fb, cover photo too,, and the most disrespectful thing it was on Memorial Day!! What about our veterans?? Why wasn’t something about that posted?? Do we forget what day it was?? Well we know what time it is for... — read more
List of vendors that have pulled out?
Sometimes I just notice brands that we no longer carry, or just see the old display model laying about, and wonder if they’ve pulled out, or if we just haven’t gotten any new stock (in ages, lol). So what’s the full list? Not counting... — read more
How are you dealing with stress?
I feel it before and during every single shift. Once I’m done I try to find different ways to decompress. I’ll take my dog for a walk, meditate, anything to get the cr-p out of my system. Sometimes it works - but most times it doesn’t. How does... — read more

Debit cards
We can finally accept debit cards as a form of payment when paying a Belk card account. I remember when we couldn't split payment using a third party cc even for purchases.
How many layers do we need?
Think of how much we would save if we got rid of the layers of management that are nothing but a burden. While we are closing stores and downsizing you won’t see upper management scaling down to fit the needs of the company. Any time cost cutting... — read more

Asset Protection Changes
I recently saw that #552 in Greenville was hiring for an 'AP Lead' despite there already being an APM in place when I left in February. Is AP undergoing restructuring in other stores or is it simply a title change?
Trying to look busy?
I find it funny that some colleagues try to look busy when the manager is around, and as soon as he is not there, they slack off to the maximum. Sometimes I think that I should also use this tactic because while I give my best all the time and in... — read more
Everything is easier when you have a good manager
I was relieved when SM who enjoyed belittling some of us went somewhere else. It was like a holiday. Only now do I see how much his behavior has affected the quality of our work. Before I didn’t have the will to work at all, in fact I barely worked... — read more
dillards is hiring!
dillards hired me on last week. $16.50 per hr. much more than belk. same rules pretty much about sales, credit, and being late, ect...much better custmer base. not the "$2" customer with a bad attitude and no money to spend.
Don't believe what they tell you....please, please, please.......
No stock in beauty/cosmetics is a sign the company is getting ready to fold. There are no other logical explanations for this. Also when big names such as Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Nautica, and Under Armor pull out that is the icing on a sh*t cake.
layers pf managers?
Can someone post the layers of managers from Store Manager all the way up to CEO, im just curious to see how many they have.
Understaffed, and WAY TOO MUCH MIDDLE MANAGEMENT (at Corp)
Multiple bosses who delight in pushing the work down three/four layers to us workers who are doing three people’s job to the point where none of our jobs even resemble what we signed up for. Get rid of the multiple management layers hire a few more... — read more
The same rules do not apply to everyone
How many times have you witnessed that the same rules do not apply to everyone at Belk? For something that a regular employee would normally get punished for, others simply get away with it. I hate such double standards. Those who get the worse end... — read more

GWP, Presell, PWP, Credits, and Emails, Oh My!
“Beauty advisors”- what’s going on in your store? Are you about ready to pull your hair out too? We have 2 people working during the week. One opens and one closes so there’s very little overlap. Majority of returns get sent to cosmetics dept. Having... — read more
What Do You Consider Quality Customer Service?
It's a shame Belk, and managers measure an associates worth, by a customer's willingness to give their personal data to Belk and third parties. How is obtaining emails, and selling a 29% interest rate credit card, considered quality customer... — read more
