Pros

Cool people to work with for the most part. Get to meet a bunch of people as well.

Cons

Feel like they make you ruin the customers experience. I would be helping a customer and my manager would come by with everything in the store trying to get them to buy it. I would end up feeling bad because they would spend five hundred dollars only to return it the next day.

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.
