Pros

At buckle there really is a great ability to make substantial income if you work hard and sell consistently! Also, the ability to move up in the company is unlike most retail where anyone can work up the corporate food chain.

Cons

The downsides are that depending on the store and the management your ability to learn and shine can be hindered. Also, there are more hours of cleaning after work and after the mall is closed than any other store in the mall.

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.
