Pros

The employee discount is a very good reason to work for buckle. And you have a tiny bit of power/authority.

Cons

Long hours,crazy schedule, getting a day off is something that hardly ever happens and then when you do get a day off, you have go to to some dumb meeting co-managers, no training, no communication, my manger just didn't come work work for like two weeks before she quit. Oh and did I mention, the worst pay scale ever! It's impossible to make money.

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.
