Pros

Meeting new people. Making 3% commission on everything. Create projects during down time. 40% off of merchandise. Move up in the company fairly quick.

Cons

Standing on your feet for long periods of time. Accountable to sell one denim per hour and $150 an hour to maintain a decent paycheck. Hourly wage before commission is around $5.50. No etiquette as to how sales are portioned among the teammates. Must show product to every guest. Step out of your comfort zone to make such little pay.

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.
