Pros

Salary is competitive for the area. Company is always looking to improve

Cons

The 401k match is not guaranteed and is discretionary. It's deposited once a year and might not even occur Vacation will not carry over and only 5 days of sick time can carry over. 42 hours a week minimum and you have to clock in and out to prove it.

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.
