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
Store Hours
So I am curious to see how busy it is for other stores after 7. For our store which is a smaller store from 6:30-9 we may see 1 or 2 customers and this is Monday- Saturday. I know there is a Mall store that is open until 9 but the mall and all other... — read more
sycamore had this planned for years, and COVID-19 helped them!!
We have countless customers calling and asking while shopping "when are you closing?" That is exatcly what Sycamore wants, they are doing this on purpose because they want to exit the investment once they make their profit.
new inventory outside of tie dye trash ?
i've been asked so many times about when are you going to get more styles and sizes in stock the only thing we have received are tie dye trash styles i have also been asked if we are going out of business does anyone know anything?
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
We are all watching this happen, we should do something while we still can
We should protest, have a walk out, do something that would grab the attention of the media. Belk has been around wayyyy to long to have these dickheads destroy it.
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
Customer surveys, how many improvements did they bring?
Sometimes I feel sorry for both us and the customers because they simply cannot get the adequate service they should be getting in such conditions. I have friends who tell me that from their perspective the services here are getting worse. I wonder... — 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
How many stores are TEAM Stores
We are a team store . No visual no Loss Prevention. BUT we have Lead HR . That has every weekend off . HR does nothing Why do they still have a position. Are you guys a team store.
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
Is it true that Loss Prevention At Belk Is Pretty Much Gone?
I used to work for Belk in Loss Prevention and it was a disorganized mess back then. Luckily I moved on to greener pastures years ago. But, it seems like many of my former colleagues have either jumped ship or been forced out.
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
Chapter 7/Liquidation by October 2021?
How are company sales overall? Does anyone thing Belk will be around past 2021? There are rumors of chapter 7 and total liquidation as early as October 2021. Any thoughts or "inside" info?
Anyone else get Kim Rogers Easter tees in THIS week ?
REALLY?! EASTER Kim Rogers tees? On the truck THIS week!
Getting loaded with merchandise
Anyone else feel like they are getting bombarded with merchandise for the G–B Sale? We have gotten load after load of trucks the past few weeks!
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
New Record
Our store was without a store manager for about 6 weeks after our previous store manager (who started as a part time associate 16 years ago and worked their way up the ladder) gave a 2 week notice out of the blue. Our new store manager started Monday... — read more
Management allows customers to behave unacceptably?

Rumors of possible Chapter 7 this October?
Is anyone else hearing rumors, from good sources stating, that Belk will close maybe by October? Also, that there is talk of a Chapter 7 filing coming?
Sycamore’s Business Plan
After a little research, it seems to me that Sycamore’s business plan is as follows..... 1–buy a retail company(Belk) 2–take on a ton of debt in that company’s name (Belk) to pay Sycamore back the money they invested to buy the company, plus... — read more
Ignoring your health?
No job is more important than health, but unfortunately many of us realize this when stress has accumulated so much that it begins to cause both physical and mental discomfort. Constantly thinking only about how I have to endure this job that pays... — 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!
please if you can get out. I'm saddened reading all these comments on here. Belk is now at the rock bottom, don't believe that junk about a $225 million fund from Sycamore, more smoke and mirrors. Any company that can't pay employees $10 an hour and... — read more
Managers told to deny PTO
managers have been told to deny PTO by corporate and RVP's. Belk is still hanging on by a thead financially.
Time Off Limits
Every associate in our store had to sign the new Time Off procedure but I am curious if it will apply to management? Our store manager and several ASM/Leads are off most weekends/nights while many associate's requests are consistently denied with no... — read more

Neglecting real issues while dealing with side things?

Poor communication
What I resent about this company is that employees are very little informed about things that could be very important to them. Someone here said that we are always the last to find out important information and I totally agree. OK, it's already... — read more
Sale set sucks
Why the h–l are we setting a 1 day sale with no help!! Online you push a few buttons but in the store it is not that easy. Plus it needs to be done by 10! The stuff is higher today with the extra 5 percent off! The customer will notice but that is... — read more
TJ Maxx just hired me to start Monday!
