Wouldn’t you think Lisa Harper would visit stores, now that some stores have been open since early to mid May? Why is she literally in hiding? Some have said she hasn’t been in a Belk store in almost a year.

These are two of the biggest complaints that Belk is currently facing. Are managers (particularly store managers) told to engage in these practices by the higher ups? Why (especially since Sycamore took over) are stores flooded with managers who... — read more 

I can’t see Belk continuing to go on like this into 2021, how can it possibly survive the holiday season with no staff and no stock?

What is one to do that is a retail veteran over 45 and wants out? I've been in retail and with Belk a long time and I don't like the way the company is heading. I don't like feeling I could be laid off at any time, and private equity has run this... — read more 

At the very least it will make you feel better. B–ch and moan and tell ‘em like it is. There’s nothing wrong with complaining

Forty-four retailers — including Stein Mart, Pier 1 Imports, J.C. Penney, Sur la Table and Neiman Marcus — have filed for bankruptcy in 2020 so far. More than 6,000 permanent store closures have been announced. And yet some of you believe... — read more 

I see a certain post has drawn the attention of corporate. To the powers that be, if you are listening: Associate morale is at an all time low. We are stressed, frustrated, overwhelmed, and worried about our future. You can see it on our faces, in... — read more 

Has anyone else had this happen? And when I asked when I could use it, they said they can't tell me that. What is really going on here?

As an associate at Belk hearing this from management, I can tell you that Belk no longer cares about the customer in the store, They are diverting everything into online shopping, because that is the only thing keeping them alive. So expect even... — read more 

According to management, online sales and in-store and curbside pick up are the only things keeping this company afloat right now.

Anyone ...... Anyone...... Anyone...... Anyone..... Bueller..... bueller..... bueller..... Crickets....

All three managers at my location have interviewes on the same day!!! This should be interesting!

IS BELK EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE JUST ONLINE OR JUST CLOSE COMPLETELY ? I HAVE NOTICED A RAPID DECLINE IN STORE MERCHANDISE SELECTION, CLEANLINESS, AND EMPLOYEE MORALE. ITS WRITTEN ON EVERYONE’S FACE. COSMETICS SELECTION IS HORRENDOUS AND MY GO TO... — read more 

I feel bad for these managers who are now just basically working as “packers” and “shippers” if that’s not a sign something is terribly wrong, nothing is.

I heard that furloughed employees are being contacted and being told that they are still employed but they most likely won't get any hours. There are no hours to give them. Can anyone confirm this?

Management, Loss Prevention, and Visual are mostly online shoppers now. They are able to tend to their titled positions/duties very little.

Can it be that bad. They are extending hours again. So some furloughs should be called back. Business must not be that bad.

On august 11th, Stein Mart said they don’t have “sufficient liquidity” to continue operating their business. Will belk be next?

Hour cuts. Visits. No staff to put out freight. Messy store. No staff to clean it or prepare for said visits. But of course it has to be perfect. Not even enough hours to run the store properly. And it's hot. Very hot. When will it end? Oh and... — read more 

"Sycamore Partners have bought a large portfolio of various retail store chains over the years with mixed results. They also have been sued over various store financial reports. In my opinion, Sycamore is very good at "creating financial figures"... — read more 

Will it make a comeback? Will it be a victim of the retail apocalypse? any ideas?

“Treat employees like they make a difference. And the will.”

We need to start a Belk Gofund me page only for hourly sales associates , Belk has been stricken with the SycamoreVirus out of New York and cannot pay its employees.

In order to be open thanksgiving, Belk needs merchandise, if stores are empty by October or early November then we now this is the end

For goodness sake, if full time is only 28 hours I would see that as Belk nearing the end of its life as a department store

Our employee hours are still cut. Full timers are averaging 28 hours or less per week. Most part timers that were called back are getting zero. Schedules are altered after being made with hours cut. Sometimes we are called the morning of and asked... — read more 

I have been furloughed since March and I got called back today and I start tomorrow. I have been sad reading here and I wanted you all to know this is 100% legit!

I’ve read these complaints, they all have validity. You can’t make this stuff up.

Sears had the same email policy and they are doing great!

If email capture is so important, why not have a kiosk at the front of the store where a customer can enter their email or phone number themselves if the wish to? Why does it keep asking for the same email over and over for the same customers?

The person who said they feel it’s just a “few” employees who write negatively on this page should just go on the Facebook page and read all the negative comments from customers, that’s a REAL eye opener!!!! And these are just customers who order a... — read more 

Store is a mess. Everything is on sale. Only one or two associates on the floor. This is not a good sign.

Right before a company is about to go under they tell the employees “if you don’t like it then quit”, No company that is doing well would tell an employee that, only a company that is about to fold and has nothing to loose would say that... — read more 

Are they putting furloughs back to work ?

Are they asking the furloughed associates to come back to work or are they laying them off or dismissing them ?

Are they having conservations with furloughed associates? I heard they were supposed to start calling soon.

can you sue belk for creating a toxic, unsafe (not practicing social distancing) and in some stores dangerous work environment ? If so, we should form a class action lawsuit

Macy’s, Khols, Dillard’s, Stein Mart all have a larger staff than Belk, we are still operating on 13 associates and two managers a day.

if belk cuts holiday pay for thanksgiving and keeps the store open, all associates and managers MUST protest, call out sick, stage a walk out, do something!!!!!! Don’t let these greedy b–tards take time away from your family!!

So, a very good source said even though all this mess, cutting pay, store hours, etc.. Lisa Harper will get a bonus of over $500,000... wtf?
