Pros

If you can sell, you will have some great paychecks coming your way. The product is so great, I mean extremely over-priced but at the same time, the quality is so great. The jeans last forever! The shoes are name brand. The other brands that they do carry are still top shelf brands. When people come in to buckle they usually know that you pay for what you get, all you have to do is get them interested in the product. One great thing was everyone had respect for everyone's sales and would even help you with selling an item if they saw you struggling.

Cons

If you can not sell, you will not like this position. There is a VERY LOW base pay, that is subsidized with your commission, so if you can sell, you can make money. There is not much room to grow, once you are in, you are in line behind the other employees that have been there longer than you.

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.
