It seems as if belk is systematically trying to push out all full time associates, STM’s, Visual Associates, and HR associates by giving them an unbearable work load. If you notice, most Belk stores are not hiring for hardly any PERMANENT positions... — read more 

Did they hire employees back at corporate after the mass layoff of 700 people in May? Is it still a skeleton staff? That is a good indicator if this company will survive in 2021. Notice how executives have been silent about the financial status of... — read more 

There is a music video on YouTube that Belk employees made sometime around late 2015 welcoming Lisa Harper to Belk. it’s actually well done and features various stores dancing to a Justin Timberlake song. I watched it and realized that 95% of the... — read more

Has anyone noticed that there is no cell service inside of Belk stores? Do they block it? You never can use internet on your phone. Very strange. Works fine in the parking lot or the stores next door but not inside our store.

I don’t care what anyone says, this company is seeing its last days. The writing is on the wall people, can’t you see it? Holiday sales may barely get us by, but in reality, like the dinosaurs, it’s just a matter of time before Belk is extinct. Stay... — read more

If the sale starts Friday November 20 why not let the employees have Thanksgiving off and come in at 5 am to get bopis ready. Just a thought.

Isn't it great that Belk is giving out these $25-$575 gift certificates to its customers before Christmas? Almost like it's trying to hide the fact that it's a dying company that's struggling to stay afloat for a few more months just so the ELT can... — read more
