Pros
The Buckle employees refer to the costumers as "guests". Shopping experience at Buckle was more interactive. As a Sales Associate, I was encouraged to bring the clothing I find that would match the tastes of the guests to the fitting room for them. This provided to be a time saver and opened up the opportunity to sale more items. There was employee discount.
Cons
Base salary was the minimum wage with ONLY 3% commission. Merchandises at Buckle were expensive. A pair of jeans would range from anywhere $60 to $150. Extremely difficult to make a reasonable commission. If you're aiming at $10/hour, you have to sell on average $100 worth of product per hour.
