Pros

Clean and classy place to work with excellent employee discount. Perfect place if you like customer interaction and want to be rewarded for the work you do. Commission is fairly generous because of the already high cost of most items. It is an ideal place if you're a college student because of the flexible hours and opportunities to work weekends.

Cons

Very seasonal retail which makes turnover rates pretty high. Since the clothes are all very expensive, Buckle can be a target to organized shoplifting.

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.
