Pros

Great discounts, great *non-management* coworkers

Cons

We were expected to dog every single customer that came in the door and bother them to get them to purchase as much as possible - I was creepily harassed by management by not doing so, or by doing so "improperly" Shifts are long and poorly paid Management liked threatening to fire people so they could recieve begging from employees

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.
