What type of jewelery would you say has the biggest upmark in price, or that gives a better profit to the store?

I would have to say sterling silver, a lot of it is made in China. Since the price of gold has shot up silver has become more popular so with demand comes supply and a price increase. Silver is also marked up and then given a higher percentage off to entice the buyer to come in. Once they're in they might buy a silver ring or pendant but they will also see something in gold they like which they will in turn buy. OR more commonly a customer will not find what they want in silver but in gold and therefor pay the higher price for the gold just because they have to have the certain style.

The management was not good at all. More worried about making his bonus than caring for his team.

What do you like best about Belk's CEO and the leadership team?

I am hard pressed to find any positive about the management team.

How would you improve Belk's culture?

I would improve the culture by focusing on the team members and not on the bottom line or personal bonuses for management.

How did you prepare for the Belk interview?

I looked up the store and the brands they carry.

How does your compensation at Belk compare to the industry average?

The salary is extremely low. The average is less than $15 an hour.

A plus for Belk - maybe the only one - is the diversity.

I feel the most joy when leaving work.
