Pros

40% discount, good environment, enjoy helping customers, dressing mannequins is fun.

Cons

Worst management. Cut hours as please, make you feel like you are doing something wrong even if you have good sales. Particular sales views which if you do not meet will also cut your hours. Make you push clothes in customers face and annoy them. If someone comes into the store just to browse, it sucks for you because you will get in trouble for not making a sale. Bad pay. Inappropriately do everything on the floor (interviews, 30 day reviews). If I could find another job I would never go back.

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.
