Belk Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Belk

Pros – I wish I could say more, but the only thing I can come up with is the employee discount. That comes in handy at the holidays when they throw the extra discounts.

Cons – It is run by the Belk family itself, that seems to be an issue with their huge ego and being the largest private retailer. The heads at top have no frickin' clue what they are doing! They want you to focus on the customers to service them, but at the same time they keep eliminating jobs creating more work for the sales associates. Belk sales associates are required to service customers needs and ring up sales, set all the sale events, process all the price changes, keep their departments clean and folded, and on top of all that they shove credit and a stupid customer satisfaction survey down our throats. I am not a sales associate luckily, but I still have to help with all that on top of my job duties of office manager and marking and receiving. I' ve been working there for 6 years, and have never gotten a decent raise without complaining to my store manager. Don't believe anybody else says about how the company really cares for the employees, they could care less!!! If they cared would they be trying to eliminate jobs and try to get every full-time position knocked down to a part-time so they don't have to pay benfits? Never work there!!!

Advice to Senior Management – Get over yourself and maybe pay a little attention to the employees who make Belk's money! You think you care, but you're not showing it very well.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
