Pros

40% discount Typically very fun environment Always learning new skills Makes you very marketable Inspiring environment....usually

Cons

Company is not realistic about goals (sometimes you can do everything right and still not sell enough, that’s not acceptable in managements opinion) Absolutely ZERO work life balance. You will live at the Buckle if you are full time. Very little consistency from store to store.

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.
