Pros

I no longer work for this toxic company.

Cons

In the middle of the covid crisis they laid off multiple people across the organization through an email.... Even after being told days earlier everyone's jobs was safe and that we would get through this together. Even before covid the morale of the planning and allocation department was low. This is a merchant led organization led by an individual who is out of touch with the staff and customer needs. If you are a brainless yes man, then this company is for you. If you have original out of the box ideas they will be dismissed. Individuals are overworked, overlooked, and beaten down. The pay and benefits of this "family valued" organization are far below industry standards. They try to sell the Florida lifestyle to get new blood (turnover is high) but with the lack of pay being able to afford the ridiculously overpriced housing/living costs (nevermind the traffic) is tough. There are other retailers out there that will treat you with respect and value you, choose them before this company.

Pros

he pros of working at Bealls are the opportunity to grow in customer service, leadership, merchandising, and store operations. It is a good place to build communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and retail management experience while working in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

Some of the cons are that company policies and procedures change frequently, which can make it challenging for employees to keep up with expectations. The company also appears to be shifting toward a model similar to TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls, but without always providing the same level of training, staffing, or pay structure. Another concern is the lack of consistent pay raises, even when employees take on additional responsibilities
