Pros

You get great discounts even on top of sale items. It's a fun place to work if your area manager is nice, company match 401K, health benefits, flexible schedule (easy to change with other employees).

Cons

The management promotes teamwork with words but your pay is based on how much you sold in the previous six months. So there are people who do everything they are expected to do and then there are the people who stand at the register and take as many sales as they can. If Belk really wanted to create a team environment, pay would not be based on sales. Also it is hard physical work if you do the job you are expected to do. Lots of standing and walking and walking and carrying heavy loads of clothes. Feet can get quite sore.

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.
