Pros

Able to work a flexible schedule.

Cons

Management was trying to dictate how/when to do the job. There was a misunderstanding about machine maintenance and the ability to work quickly and efficiently, even when the "outdated" machine needed to be replaced and slowed down production, as I was constantly needing to repair and readjust broken parts. Even the machine repairman said the machine was inadequate and outdated for the job required.

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.
