Pros

Good music, fun atmosphere, love working with public, it's fun to personal shop for people. Good discount and love the clothes!

Cons

Pay is low $5.00 per hour plus 3% commission on sales. The company makes you show our guest clothing even when they tell you they don't want your help "just looking" I don't like hounding people our guests think we are doing it because we are on commission which we on are commission but I don't mind if you do not want my help or even if you don't want to buy anything management gets on us if we don't keep showing that same guest merchandise. I personally prefer to respect people's wishes rather than disregard what they are telling me to pressure them into a sale.

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.
