Pros

The 40% off - if you feel like spending a ton of money

Cons

Everything. The managers want everyone to be the same (fake happy, fake nice, and get along with everybody to the point of being in love with them) they are very racist and area managers and store managers show off their “power” and love to feel on top and superior. The worst job I have ever done. Everything they say on interviews and before being hired is all a lie. Once you get hired they flip 180 and try to make you fit into their mold, everyone there hated their job, workers would cry and always felt anxious.

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.
