Pros

Good discounts for employees. Working with people, pay is pretty good for people in college. I have had good luck with schedule like my times. Good co workers and leaders.

Cons

Was promised a leader promotion after a two week trail period? Then to be told to wait till after Christmas because a raise in the middle of a pay period doesn't make sense? Manager just trying to make more money for the store during the holidays. But expects me to do the leader role of impacting and leading while I wait for the raise.

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.
