Pros

I met some really great friends while working st the buckle, the discount is great 40%, the creativity aloud in visual merchandising is fun too!!

Cons

The culture try's so hard to be fun and professional at the same time but the inconsistency while working at buckle was extremely frustrating. To be a good employee you basically have to be extremely flexible with your schedule and it is just not worth the pay that comes with working weekends and nights

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.
