Many of my colleagues have been laid off from Belk only to now see them hiring college grads with no experience when many of us have graduated in past three or four years and have retail experience. I ask the CEO to stop this outrageous practice and... — read more 

How severe are the hour cuts in your store that Belk just imposed? At our store some have been cut to zero or almost no hours. Do you think this will really stop at the end of the month as promised?

Just wondering why mother Harper is keeping Employees in the dark? Khols, stein mart, Macy’s, TJ Maxx, JC Penney’s CEO have all made statements and had email releases with some detail about the company’s economic status, not Belk, just silence.

A few weeks ago someone mentions Corporate doing “thank you visits” has anyone had one yet?

our regional referred to $15/hr cosmetic associates as “top pay”, only at Belk would $15 be considered top pay, what a joke.

I think that would be a great new name!

our Cosmetics/fragrance counter is EMPTY, stock levels are are so low customers ask every day “when are you closing?”, and EVERY manager is going to interview for other jobs, including the store manager, the end is near!!!!

I work at corporate and was one of the people to be furloughed but then told I was coming back. Now I’m being told I won’t be coming back until end of August which means never. Run while you can and get another job AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

pull the plug on Belk, for goodness sake, put it out of it's misery.

Let me guess, by the end of the year (or maybe summer), bankruptcy, liquidation, and Belk folds.

Belk is cutting hours at all stores "due to Covid 19". This is supposed to be temporary for "a few weeks". They are trying to prevent another round of furloughs, according to management. This could be Belks' death nail.

It just goes to show how desperate Belk has become, they did it to themselves, Covid just exacerbated the issue. Now they have to resort to a name calling shill, and what sounds like some very witty ex-employees, one thing is for certain, this is... — read more 

Our store has severe AC issues constantly. It is either not working properly or Belk is not running it enough to properly cool the store. On good days, downstairs is barely tolerable and upstairs is hot. On bad days, the whole store is a sauna. ... — read more 

I worked cosmetics until 2019, then took a job at another company making $300 a week more. Belk is most definitely a sinking ship.

Will associates that are furloughed ever be called back? Does anyone know?

“People don’t leave jobs, they leave toxic work cultures.”-Richard Branson

“The biggest concern for any organization is when the most important people become quiet”

Managers are told to pretend everything is “rainbows and ponies” and act like the store is making its numbers.

If it’s true 60 % of the corporate office was laid off then that is a precursor to bankruptcy/going out of business..... I’m speechless....

How long can they drag out these layoffs? How long do they plan to torture us with unnecessary anticipation and stressing? Why can't they just get it over with in one or two days instead of making it last for months now? I don't see a reason for... — read more
