Working at Belk in Roanoke, VA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Roanoke, VA Area

"I have worked for Belk for 8 months and I loved it when I started. However, as of late, my job responsibilities have been spread out and it's become exceedingly difficult for me to do the job I was hired for. From what I've been able to gather, the work environment has gone downhill since Belk was sold to an investment company. They manipulate the number of hours that allowed to be used when scheduling, so associates' schedules and hours per week vary greatly. (In an effort to squeeze as much profit as possible.) They also don't like to follow the availability you gave upon hire during their Blackout dates, so be aware of that. The people working in Roanoke are good people, all the staff is wonderful. Management has good days and bad days, like any workplace. Working in HR, I have noticed some cliques, but mainly with management. If you are hired as a keyholder or HR, you are considered "management" and expected to be the manager-on-duty. Your schedule will be very inconsistent. The discount is great, but has fine print. Overall, it's still the best job I've had so far in my career."
