Expect too much of salespeople for pay rate - Anonymous employee The Buckle Employee Review

A reality show could be made about this place. Lots of back-stabbing, emotional breakdowns, out of control egos, pressure from superiors. They expect A LOT from their sales people -often teen-agers or early 20-somethings with little experience. They must sell hard to several customers at once, keep their "zone" clean and tidy, constantly re-arrange and re-design sales area; show each customer many products and not take "no" for an answer; word sales pitches in the exact way the company says to and if you vary that according to your personality or the personality of the customer you "evaluated" on that. This company makes it all so much more complicated than it needs to be. Super high turnover because they expect so much from young kids with little positive coaching/teaching. Instead there's a lot of "gotcha!" moments where team mates try to "catch" other team-mates "doing it wrong." Don't provide teammates with the structure to make any sort of impact or contribute ideas. Instead teammates are dictated to by managers, district or corporate employees and are not consulted for their ideas or insight.
