Pros

Amazing coworkers. Upbeat attitudes. Meet a lot of new people and it's not a horrible job. You get chances to move up and flexible schedule.

Cons

Commission based with not a high base pay. If your store is slow, you can't help but think you're being ripped off. However, if your store is busy it could be good for you as the clothes are expensive. High pressure to sell as much as possible.

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.
