Pros

40% discount was nice considering you have to wear their clothes as a “walking mannequin”

Cons

very cliquey and fake coworkers, training was nonexistent and if you didn’t do something the buckle way (even though you were never trained on how to do it) it was met by passive aggressive comments instead of help, management hated to give me the days off i had shown to them before they hired me and threatened to make me work major holidays since “i got to have my fun”, hours were horrible and coworkers loved to steal commissions

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.
