Pros

Buckle offers a 40% discount to their employees. They are very easy to work with in terms of scheduling. The people you work with are always friendly and helpful. There is potential to move up the "food chain" quickly. You determine your pay as a teammate - as a manager in training you get a set hourly wage and are eligible for ovetime. As a store manager you receive a base pay and bonuses. It offers medical and dental insurance for full time employees for only $25 a paycheck for a single person. Store managers receive free health insurance.

Cons

You have to be available to work weekends. It has irregular hours and no set schedule. The only holidays the store isn't open is Christmas and Thanksgiving (depending upon the mall) and you don't get paid time and a half on other holidays.

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.
