Pros

MT program is great and you learn a lot about customer service and leading a team. MT program is very rewarding and leaves a lot of room for advancement. Buckle is a great place to work if you are serious about a retail career and are willing to put in the effort. Great work/life balance and a lot of travel opportunity. Receive great support from all managers

Cons

Very few downsides, if you're willing to put in hard work you will get the recognition you deserve. It can be a difficult job if you're not looking to make retail a career or don't have a passion for retail but it is still very motivating and supportive work environment even in a part time sales position. Higher pay for MT position would be one of the few suggestions.

Pros

-Good work-life balance. -Team-building is encouraged. -The experience can vary by location. -Buckle has the potential to have some of the best retail teams, depending on the store. -There are opportunities for growth and career advancement for employees who have supportive leadership.

Cons

Management's willingness to lead, communicate effectively, and support employees is what creates opportunities for growth, but that was not my experience at this location. I felt the work environment was negatively affected by inconsistent communication, a leadership style that felt overly controlling, and discussions about employees that appeared to undermine teamwork and trust. I believe a more respectful, supportive, and collaborative approach to leadership would create a healthier workplace culture and better support both employees and the overall success of the store.
