Belk Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The people are the only thing positive

There's some good people there

Not a whole lot now

People could use ear buds and cell phones for personal use Management did not see or care. The ones that worked had to Compensate for those that liked to play

Those i can at least have a decent chat not work related around my age.

Review from Operations Dept

They have lost their culture and the environment felt stressed and overworked.

The work culture was terrible and it is hard for a part-time person juggling other things. They want you to make them a priority but when something happens to you, they will not do the same.

Well it was that i was building a career. I have a dusability and they told me that didnt qualify

Like my Mom tells me often there's no perfect situation for no one is perfect. Woth that said ther is always room for improvement, but we all must be willing to learn from our failures, be grateful for our successes. Today in retail biz-things are critical, I believe that change can be good/positi

I don’t let negativity affect my productivi

Most team members are freidly And pull their weight

I already shared everything I like about working for Belk!

Everyone is very friendly and happy all the time

Treaty equally and fairly by management

Review from Operations Dept

One particular manager is AMAZING!!! I love when I actually get to help my beauty customers without being rushed as well.

Positive- Long term employees are dedicated, show up & work hard. Negative- work life balance. You are just a number on a chart.

Team support amongst coworkers is definitely very positive.

Positive that you are going to get pulled 4 or 5 times from your job to go do something else that someone else could do

Would like to discuss in person

That we help robbers out the door with stolen merchandise.

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Better work ethics would go a long way

The company culture is wonderful. However, the company neglects the complaints filled about store management which keeps the atmosphere of the store negative.

Be more diverse and train leaders to lead.

Sometimes it only take a minute to see how a person day is goin and their well being . They are more concerned about an order than the person mental state

Listen to what we say needs to change. We are the ones out here doing the work and taking the crap from your customers. Take care of your employees.

Review from Sales Dept

All new managers . The current store manager got used to being the " active store manager " until the new one came . But its like all of them are rude . One manager/lead keenia made a comment that rubbed off completely wrong.

Top level executives need to work in a store and show us how they could possibly handle all of the priorit

Again, management needs to communicate and be upfront instead of demonstrating passiveness and dishonesty.

Review from Customer Support Dept

More diversity for younger people to increase sales

Review from Sales Dept

Needs new front desk hr person

Review from Operations Dept

They need to make it a safe and happy enviroment

Review from Customer Support Dept

We’re a team. Everyone needs to remember that

Review from Sales Dept

It is full of negative, racial people constantly speaking badly about the quality of your work.
