Pros

40% off, fun sometimes, nice clothes, charge card, customers are very nice

Cons

Management is awful, managers talk badly about you to other teammates. If you call off it's like the end of the world. For example I was in a car accident on a Saturday night I called that night to tell them and obviously I called off the next day and my manager said I would never be an assistant to all the other teammates because I'm irresponsible. but didn't tell me. Meanwhile I live an hour and a half away and work full time as a leader been at buckle for a year and a half. And why won't I be an assistant? Because I got in a car accident And called off. Terrible terrible management I'm currently looking for another job. This experience completely turn me off. Another thing I would like to point out is if you are in college and furthering your education, buckle will try and talk you out of it. They want you to live breathe and eat buckle. Rethink working 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.
