Pros

The people are awesome, SUPER flexible scheduling, fast paced, exciting, you learn something new everyday! I was never bored when we were busy.

Cons

As a full time student, working part-time and making commission was kind of hard but my paychecks were always pretty great around the holidays. Since you can't control how busy you are, it can be really hard to make good money when you are slow for a couple shifts. Another thing is that we only make $5 an hour and 3% commission. You could spend up to an hour with a guest and they only walk out with a $12 piece of jewellery when you could've been with another two or three guests. TIME IS MONEY AT BUCKLE.

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.
