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.

Pros

Interactive/Fun Environment Good Pay Very flexible hours

Cons

They're very willing to work with you if your sales are high enough, but if you don't meet that threshold, you're pretty out of luck from the start. If it weren't for a couple of other people I worked with helping me get one good shift, I wouldn't have lasted more than a month.
