Anyone know or heard anything about this new position? Is this their way of eliminating MTM/OTM positions in non top doors and eliminating what visual leads are left

So we are told that by this summer, Belk will be Centralizing the Registers to be upfront, similar to Kohl’s......anyone else hear this?

i can't stress this enough. do not believe a word from any press-release, corporate email, RVP, Store Manager, upper management of any kind. they are TOLD to LIE. plain and simple.

Stick a fork in it and call it done! Seriously there are some looking to get out and others who are holding on. For those holding on that is your choice, BUT make sure you have a backup plan once things go south for your store. Save, save and in case... — read more

KKR, now a part owner of Belk, is major trouble. Research KKR and Toys R Us to learn more. They are just as bad as Sycamore, if not worse. As good as it is that Belk was saved, the future looks bleak. Let's hope they have a winning plan to survive... — read more 

any ideas? how many stores will close? how many layoffs? just wondering what you all think.

Never believe anything Belk says in press releases. They promised not to close stores or layoff employees during bankruotcy. But notes to creditors in the filing state that cuts and closures will be addressed after the bankruptcy.

They don't know retail. How many other business have they purchased and went bankrupt? I want to know how much money they made last year. Why are the store managers being their puppets? It is making me physically sick.

FOR ALL THE HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT BELK, THE SINGLE MOTHERS WORKING FOR $11 AN HR, THE PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT, BUY FOOD, AND PAY THEIR CAR NOTE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET OUT NOW. THIS BANKRUPCY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS, NOT AT ALL. LISA HARPER AND... — read more

we will be getting a 2% raise this year, across the board for everyone. thats what we were told.

I have a growing feeling that Belk views their employees as enemies. Otherwise I can’t explain such a bad atmosphere at work. This company no longer understands that it shares the same, not opposing, interests with us. I wish it wasn't this way... — read more
