Pros

Coworkers are usually friendly, the discount is nice

Cons

Biased and egotistical management, no chance for pay raises due to "pay for performance" scale, management pushes (and sometimes threatens) associates to get credit applications from customers, WAY too many tasks for associate to complete, management is unwilling to assist associates. Also there is literally NO WAY to contact Tim Belk in order to report abuse from management or to complain about the work conditions. Inconsistant hours are a big problem...one week you may have 40 the next week you'll have 10. There is no chance of advancement with this company. If I could have found another job, i'd be gone already.

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.
