To many buddy buddy managers. No one really cares if the associates have a complaint. Not even Human Resources. - Sales Associate Belk Employee Review

Pros

It's a job. If I could find something else with the same pay or more pay, I would leave.

Cons

Too much pressure to open credit cards. They don't care how you get them. They process applications that have been declined over and over again. Literally making that person's credit worse than it is. The people who get the most credits get away with coming in late and doing whatever they want at work. If you haven't met your goal, you are pretty much mud on their feet. There is definitely favoritism in the store. They pretty much get to make their own schedule.

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.
