Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits, room for promotion, good training program. Detail oriented, strong value in the bottom level employee, management protective of floor level employee.

Cons

Stressful commission based sales environment, mangers are told that they need to manage more than sell when sales make up a large portion of paychecks. Management takes the word of bottom level employee over shift leaders on a consistant basis. Management sets unrealistic goals for employee sales.

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.
