There is no point in complaining and wondering why some department is out of stock on something, why L’Oreal and other brands are pulling out of Belk... The inevitability is that Belk will sink and the only thing to think about is how to get out of... — read more
Tired of belk?? Find a new job! Everyone is hiring.
Lowe’s had a career fair a week ago, and guess what?! Myself and two other of my coworkers got hired! I’m left my “Lead” position, and getting hired at Lowe’s starting at $18! Also interviewed at Tj Maxx, got offered $16. A dollar more than Belk, but... — read more
I hate Belk so much...
Literally this place IS THE WORST. Our store manager sucks so bad and is also never there LOL! We never have stock in, and I’ve been written up twice because I’ve been late too many times. Why do these as-----s care if I’m late? I’m there LOL! I’m... — read more
Belk literally sucks.
Hey friends. So I seriously cannot take this place anymore. The store manager comes and goes as she pleases, is gone at least 3 days a week because she calls off, and literally sucks. The store manager even TEXTED a family member of mine who USED to... — read more
The harder you work, the less protected you are
Why does Belk always, ALWAYS punishes its best employees who work hard and who are the responsible ones by pushing us under the bus, be it with customers or by laying us off? Yet workers who are lazy, gossipy, and rude with customers and the rest of... — read more
Rating of 1-10
Without naming your location, rate your store from 1 (being the worst) to 10 (being the best) and why. I’ll start first. I'd rate my location as a 6. We seem to be way more unorganized after the layoffs that happened last year. We let go of... — read more
Getting rid off FT real fast
Well I got fired today for being late or calling out due to my cancer and aging parents........wow! Just WOW!
How do you manage to maintain a positive attitude?
Despite everything, I try not to become a completely bitter employee and maintain a positive attitude. Every day I try to find some motivation to work, so as not to fall into complete depression. However, it is very difficult when you see that many... — read more
You can not, or are not trying?
Working at Belk is a miserable feeling. I worked there until recently because I thought I couldn’t find a better job in this industry, primarily given my age, so I didn't even try. The first time I decided to dedicate myself to looking for a new... — read more
belks customers it must be hard Keeping up Appearances
it feels like belk has gone from richard and Hyacinth bucket grade customer to her sister Daisy and her husband onslow level. if you dont get what i mean then your missing out on a great show
Belk is nearing the end and even top brass are now not pretending it's going to survive.
Our RVP said Belk won't be around past 2022. The company is in it's "final phase" of life.
Who does Belk attract for $9 an hour?
describe the types of people working for $9/hr.
What after unemployment benefits end?
I apologize that the issue is not specifically related to Belk, but my father worked here, was laid off and will receive unemployment benefits for a little while longer. Due to his age and deteriorating health, he is unable to find a new job. After... — read more
How many different jobs are you doing?
The situation here has really become ridiculous. I do three different jobs at Belk. Do they really think this is normal? I absolutely think that it would be better for the company (and for everyone else) to hire more people, than to squeeze the... — read more
Do you confront difficult coworkers?
Working in this company is very stressful and it is understandable why everyone is a bit frustrated. However, this is still no excuse for my difficult coworkers. I definitely plan to inform HR, but I'm afraid that's not the best solution. I was... — read more
Facebook comments
Anyone else notice that their social media team is deleting all disparaging comments? Some threads leave the replies, but any (true) bad reviews and comments are being deleted
Any word if ELC Brands will last in Belk?
With no stock in top sku's and unable go item locate would this give us signs that these brands could be exciting as well?
Being scheduled excessive days in a row
My store keeps scheduling people 6-8 days in a row before we get a day off. They won't change it either when we point it out. We are all so burnt out. Anyone else have this going on?
having to ask permission to use restroom
my store is telling associates they have to ask before using the restroom. is anyone else experiencing this? i don't think grown adults need to ask to go to the restroom. we are not children.
We need more time off
Every single one of us full timers (but I'm thinking the same is true for part timers) needs three days off in a row every week to recover from the constant bu-----t we have to take here day in, day out. Maybe then some of the managers who spend... — read more
STM'S , MTM'S AND SOME STORE MANAGERS WILL BE GETTING THE AXE BY MID JUNE
Belk is "cleaning house" of store level management. Especially so-called "Dead weight" that are complacent, immobile, over payed, expect mass manager layoffs by mid June 2021 ranging from STM'S to store managers, even some RVP's are not safe.
How do Lisa Harper and Don Hendricks still have jobs?
Any time I've ever heard of a company filing bankruptcy, there was a major house cleaning starting at the top and yet, Belk filed for chapter 11 and neither Lisa Harper nor Don Hendricks were fired. They are the ones who are sinking this ship and... — read more
How many stores are downsizing management?
The store I’m in, along with several others in our region have been informed that we’re “over staffed” with salaried managers. The managers in question were originally told that no reductions would be happening except via promotion or attrition... — read more

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.

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?

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.
