Pros

40% discount Meet all kinds of people.

Cons

Lucky to get 1 weekend off a month. From October- January you work every weekend because of holidays. The pay is NOT good for how hard you work. As a key holder you are expected to approach shoplifters, they tell you not to but then get mad if you don't... they keep nothing confidential. Everyone knows everybody's business. Most of the store managers are fake, act buddy buddy but yet will throw each other under the bus before you can even blink an eye. Turn over rate is unbelievable.

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.
