Pros

This job gave me the best experiance I could ever take away from a job. Patially it was my manager/mentor who sparked a fire inside me, developed my sales, marketing, and fashion skills, helped me to be a great repport builder, and gave me an inside look into the workings of a company with a start up mantality. Working at The Buckle will be the front doors to your career.

Cons

As the front doors to your career this place is not a final stop, but more of a revolving door. They hire like nuts, and people leave just as fast. Working at The Buckle is like being in Limbo, you've moved into a possition that is only a temporary. On a personal note they let me go because of a very bad accuasation against me that I proved to be untrue. I choose to stay away as clearing this job was not in my best interest. Commision based and start you at a very poor hourly rate.

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.
