Pros

Decent leadership, employee discount and a wide range of opportunities.

Cons

Skimpy hours if you aren’t full time and trying to actually learn the job becomes ridiculous. Training is so convoluted and overcomplicated for no apparent reason. Hourly wage based off commission is hilarious. This is one of those companies that thinks it is more than it actually is.

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.
