Pros

40% discount on yourself although the staff will peer preasure you into buying stuff for yourself if they haven't made bank for the day.

Cons

The 40% can only be applied to yourself. Everyone acts like your a shoplifter including management. You have to harass guests that you know are unintrested in particular iteams. The commission is ridiculous, leaders will come in and steal your commision based on the fact that they see your trying and not making the cut, they will swoop in and for sure be there at the register. Poor communication leads to the shopper's being overwhelmed with so many diffrent things and too many people helping them. Pay is terrible and you work your butt off for the little money you make.

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.
