Pros

Stumbling upon Buckle was one of my best decisions ever. There is an amazing work to home balance, flexible schedule, awesome discount and amazing career advancement opportunities. I work at a store with an area manager as our store manager and he and my district manager are completely invested in my advancement. I started out as a leader in training and was promoted in less than a year all the way up to assistant manager.

Cons

Sometimes the commission aspect of the job can be stressful but if you work hard enough your pay can be amazing.

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.
