Pros

Employee discount; generous vacation time;

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. I came in on all my scheduled days off from Oct - mid January to try and recover the store and be there for my team. Only day off was Christmas Day. Belk expects the sales team (cashier) to make all their metrics (which means making all their goals in sales, save the sale, credit, emails, pre-sales) PLUS take care of the fitting rooms and recover the floor. And take care of the customer on the floor since we do not have floor associates or department supervisors. Not possible. They have cut the payroll hours back so far, we have lines at the registers. There is no time for anything else. The OTM - and the previous OTM - came/comes in at 5 in the morning and goes home at 7 -8. Only days off is /was when the stress made/makes them too sick to work. Antiquated equipment makes their job harder than it has to be. Always moving departments around which means never catching up with the workload.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
