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 

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 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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

nobody has mentioned on here that if an associate or manager quits they are not being replaced, another red flag this bus is gonna crash.

I've been an STM since 2013 and have noticed that store managers have less accountability and more free rein to do what they want than in the past. Our store manager can work shorter shifts than the sales associates and nothing ever seems to happen... — read more

With this sudden change in staffing, and store operations, its obvious that Belk is near the end. No staff, closeout merchandise from Ross, A total shift in customer base, it's a wrap guys..

People don't quit a job, they quit a boss. This is the way it is in most cases. I worked here for many years, the job was hard but I accepted it and adjusted. However, after I got a new manager, I don’t want to stay here anymore. He’s the biggest... — read more
