Culture here is toxic

Poverty wages, egomaniac managers, and a special kind of incompetence that somehow keeps getting promoted. The turnover rate says it all.

Quiz the puppet masters!!

I want to highlight the issue of our reduced store hours, particularly for those taking on extra responsibilities. While your dedication is appreciated, increased effort during these limited hours may lead to unrealistic expectations. It's... — read more

Best of Belk kept hush hush

Was best of belk kept really hush hush at your store? If so, why? I don’t get how people are chosen? Is it favoritism?
