Pros

The only thing good about working at buckle is the discount which is 40%

Cons

Pay is horrible you have to work so hard to get a decent check. The only time you make good money is if your a store manager or assistant manager. They treat store managers AWESOME! Im talking paid trips and concerts, when really store managers sit in the back and do nothing. You have to harass guest and when other store managers come to the store to visit omg they over do it by a million.

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.
