Pros

The only pros were the employee discount and a few nice teammates.

Cons

You only get 3% commission, hourly pay is $4.50, you have to wear buckle clothing which means majority of paychecks go to keeping your job, in order to use your discount you have to spend a minimum of $50, management is no good, Teammates and leaders talk behind each others backs, it was just an awful experience. I'm glad I cut my time there short. The amount of work you have to put in for such little pay is not worth it.

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.
