What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being honest went from having a great manager to the worst
Review from Operations Dept
Having a vision for the company
Understanding the day to day, sharing positive feedback not only critical, and caring about people.
Taking care of the employees, and letting them use their pto and not scheduling them outside of their availability
Pay your managers a competitive salary. Shrink store hours. It's ridiculous. Holiday hours are a nightmare.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
They sold out everyone and thing. Benefits suck and they could care less about your mental health, but they talk like they do. All puppets.
Review from Executive Dept
Too many managers cutting my hours and the managers are working registers and working customers. That is my job as an employee not a manager. I get paid $7 and they get paid $20
I worked very hard. And it was not noticed
Only full time employee at my location
If they stopped mentioning every two seconds that, "we pay so well, you should be lucky" but only paid me better based on my race and who I knew.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Actually have in person meetings which were cut out.
Review from Executive Dept
my coworkers are great but not trained in what I consider retail basics.
Work as a team with clearly defined goals and set standards
Could be more team focused. Although I have to say it would probably help if training was provided before sending out new employees to tackle tasks that can be very overwhelming without some kind of explanation of how things are done and why
Work ethics and dress more professionally.
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
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Actual Training and educated Hr.
Review from Executive Dept
Clarify. And communicate the hours and demands of the job. Give good training
Everything. Clarify job duties and hours
There is no way to describe the interview with do many interruptions
not really a fair question been there a long time
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Airconditioner and tepairs go untouched and the stores are literally falling apart.
Review from Executive Dept
Change management and up date the stores
nobody ever has clarity or stability in Belk's pricing strategy. It's confusing and changes almost on a daily basis
Lack of hours, non communication, lack of leadership, no set rules, and not followed.
Review from Sales Dept
Management, company culture, everything. Actually caring about your staff not just the HR and managers.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
I would like to see more credit given to employees.
