Recent Tells/Reviews and Answers on Belk

about
belk.com..BOOOOOOO!I placed an order for two items, and only received one. Here is the problem with that; while I understand that sometimes items become "unavailable"..I feel that if a customer places an order online under the impression he or she will receive that order in completion, that as a customer, we should receive an email stating which item has become unavailable between time of purchase and shipment! Instead, I receive an email stating that "your order has been shipped!".. failing to mention that something within that order is now unavailable! (?) Sure, the back of the invoice with my incomplete order explains "0" beside quantity as an item no longer in stock..but you should have enough regard for your customers to let them know via email. Don't say its been shipped when it hasn't! ..Give the customer a chance to start shopping for that item elsewhere before its too late (in the case that it was supposed to be a gift , which in my case, it was). I will most definitely stick with JCP.com from now on as they have NEVER screwed up an order or mine. What I order is sent to my house in 3 days..never missing an item. I suggest you take lessons from them. First time with Belk.com..boooooo

Not enough employee development
They do not pay very well, there is not a easy way to get promotions.

About to leave...

about
I'm a current Belk employee who will be leaving in the next week or so. I love it. Shady practices by management. Other employees are a pain in the rear. But overall it's fun. just don't get involved in stupid stuff and you'll be fine.

Bring the bigger brands such as Raplh Lauren, Lacoste, etc. to other Belk stores. I live near charlotte and the brands in the Belk stores there are better than the ones in Concord or Albemarle.

I can't understand why they pay new employees more! Some people have worked there for years and don't get any increase in pay no matter what you do! You can put every hour everyday in to your job and don't get anything for it. They just want more out of you!

Stayed Too Long

about
I worked for Belk for about six years as a sales associate and as an area sales manager. It was basically a job I took straight out of college while I was looking for a "real" job. I got sucked in. Before I knew it I was on the "management track" to being a store mgr one day. I won't go into why that never happened. I will tell you that working in mgt for Belk is an extremely thankless job. You are told to do as much as possible with as few as possible. 50 to 60 hour work weeks are the norm and never really catching up is common. To make things worse, I had a store mgr who was also a regional mgr who was intolerant of anything less than perfection. The quality of life for an area sales mgr is not good. Stress and high blood pressure is a way of life. I averaged what I made an hour during a week at Christmas and it was about $4...pretty sweet huh.
Please consider not accepting an area sales mgr position if it's offered to you. Go somewhere where they will actually spend a little more for sales associates so the mgrs aren't doing it all.

Nothing worth working here

about
I don't feel it is worth working for Belk. The benefits package is expensive for what you get. The compensation package that is offered isn't even close to what I have been offered elsewhere. No matter how hard you work, you will never be acknowledged unless you are a boot-licker or a relative of any manager. Don't get me wrong, if you are slow with your work or have a willing bad relationship with managers you will have a difficult time being promoted. The life/work balance is horrible, especially during any holiday. Management is always changing and there is not consistency. There is an inconsistency with how management treats their employees in each department.
