I'm not sure they care about their individual employees. - Retail Sales Associate Belk Employee Review

Pros

Business is very steady, and there are opportunities to make sales. The higher end stores can be very nice places to shop, and therefore, bring in nicer clientele with which to interact.

Cons

A heavy emphasis on the bottom line instead of customer service. This means you have less opportunity to build a relationship with customers. A push for more Part-time associates than full-time feels like they would rather save money on employment than hire people willing to put the customer first.

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.
